§ Mr. BettsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list by type of product(a) how many schemes have been approved to date under the private finance initiative, (b) what is the value of those schemes and (c) what public sector contribution will be required both initially and as revenue support during the lifetime of the schemes. [41742]
§ Mr. HowardTwo contracts have been awarded under private finance initiative terms to date:
- The police national network
- Immigration detention facilities at Gatwick airport
The total capital values of these projects are matters for the contractors, but are estimated to be £50 million and £12 million respectively.
No public sector initial contribution has been required. Individual police forces purchase usage of PNN from public funds, but the value during the lifetime of the scheme will vary with demand. The rental for the Gatwick centre is projected to be £987,000 per annum.
