§ Mr. TimmsTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what information is collated centrally on(a) the long-term revenue commitments and (b) any other 680W commitments arising as a result of private finance initiative projects agreed by (i) his Department and (ii) agencies accountable to his Department. [5076]
Mr. John M. Taylor[holding answer 20 November 1996]: My Department maintains a central record of all potential long-term revenue commitments arising from planned PFI projects in DTI and its agencies. However, no projects have yet been finally agreed—that is, contracts signed. No other commitments are envisaged, but if they were to emerge, a central record would be kept.
