HC Deb 03 June 1997 vol 295 cc165-6W
44. Mr. Lidington

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how he plans to encourage greater private sector investment in London Underground. [490]

Ms Glenda Jackson

We are developing a new public/private partnership to improve the London Underground, safeguard its commitment to the public interest and guarantee value for money to taxpayers and passengers. To this end my hon. Friend the Paymaster General is currently carrying out an urgent review of the Private Finance Initiative to see how it can be made to work better.
