§ Mr. TimmsTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment, pursuant to her answer to the hon. Member for Darlington (Mr. Milburn) of 6 March,Official Report, column706, if she will provide figures for her Department's PFT projects in the same form as used by the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department, in his answer to the hon. Member for Darlington of 6 March, Official Report, columns 692–93. [20384]
§ Mr. Robin SquireI refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Darlington (Mr. Milburn) on 6 March,Official Report, column 706. The estimate in table 5.5 of the "Financial Statement and Budget Report 1997–98" is based on the aggregate potential for PFI in the Department's and Employment Service's own estates and infrastructure; it is not yet directly attributable to specific projects, other than the two 427W which have already been concluded. These projects are not yet fully operational and their details therefore remain commercially sensitive.
