HC Deb 14 July 1997 vol 298 c16W
Mr. Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what is his policy in respect of shadow tolls. [8468]

Ms Glenda Jackson

The Government has conducted a review of PFI and we are taking measures to reinvigorate it. Our policy on shadow tolling is that bids for projects which we decide to pursue with remuneration on this basis will be considered on their merits. A key issue will be the value for money offered by bids compared with conventional procurement.
