1 There are no specific clawback arrangements, but the contract places a limit on the private sector's ability to refinance without the trust's approval.
2 These are transactions financed by bond issues. The nature of these transactions means re-financing is extremely unlikely.

Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what clawback mechanisms exist under private finance initiative contracts within his Department in respect of(a) refinancing and (b) other contingencies; and if he will place copies of each private finance initiative contract in the Library. [130211]

Mr. Denham

[holding answer 13 July 2000]: I refer the hon. Member to my reply above to my right hon. Friend the Member for Swansea, West (Mr. Williams). This details the major National Health Service private finance initiative contracts with clawback arrangements regarding re-financing.

No other specific clawback arrangements are made except in the case of schemes with forward land sales. Where the land is sold in advance, there are clawback arrangements in the event of the land eventually beings
