§ Mr. TimmsTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the equivalent figures for the year 1996–97 to those given in table 5.5 of the "Financial Statement and Budget Report". [7220]
§ Mr. DarlingTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will provide a breakdown by Department of the £1.1 billion estimated capital expenditure under the private finance initiative in 1996–97, referred to in table 5.4 of832W the "Financial Statement and Budget Report", 1997–98, along the same lines as the figures for 1997–98 in table 5.5 of the same report. [7195]
§ Mr. Jack[holding answer 2 December 1996]The information requested is as follows:
£ million 1996–97 Defence 40 FCO/ODA 0 Agriculture 0 DTI 1— DfEE 0 Transport 550 Environment 80 Home Office 120 Legal (LCD) 1— Health 70 Social Security 130 Scotland and Forestry Commission 30 Wales 20 Northern Ireland 10 Chancellor's department 30 Local authorities 50 Total 1,130 1Less than £10 million. The principal reasons for the reduction in the estimated outturn for 1996–97 from £1.9 billion in the 1995 "Financial Statement and Budget Report" down to £1.1 billion in the 1996 report are better estimates of the likely phasing of the capital expenditure on some signed transport projects, and somewhat slower than expected progress in procurement of some other projects.
