Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his answer of 13 March 1996,Official Report, column 629, what assessment he has made of the additional time taken to establish the Gwent bird reserve by the Land Authority for Wales and the Cardiff Bay development corporation on the basis of using the private finance initiative compared with the conventional public sector route.

Mr. Hague

It is Government policy to consider private finance initiative options for all capital schemes and the aim to complete engineering works before impoundment of the waters within Cardiff bay took account of this.
