HC Deb 17 July 2001 vol 372 cc96-7W
Mrs. Curtis-Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions if he will list the PH contracts on local authority leisure centres entered into since 1997, indicating(a) the value of the PH, (b) the name of the successful contractor, (c) those PFIs which have benefited from refinancing arrangements, (d) the value of the benefit accrued to the company concerned and (e) the extent of the clawback. [4533]

Dr. Whitehead

No contracts have yet been signed for central government supported PFI leisure centres. No information is held on PFI schemes funded entirely by a local authority.

Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions how many(a) PFI and (b) PPP contracts have been agreed by his Department over the last five years; how many have been satisfactorily completed; and in how many has compensation been (i) paid and (ii) claimed for performance failure. [4599]

Dr. Whitehead

The table provides details of DTLR's PFI and PPP contracts signed in the past five years. It states whether the service is operational, and whether service charge payments have been withheld. Should PH and PPP contractors fail to provide the contracted service they will not receive the full unitary service charge payment for the relevant month.
