HC Deb 16 November 2001 vol 374 c969W
Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the projects in his Department which have been considered as potential public-private partnerships since 1997 which have not been undertaken because the public sector comparator had a lower net present value than the public private partnership proposed; and if he will make a statement. [13433]

Mr. Blunkett

From the best information available, there are no instances in this Department where a potential public-private partnership has not gone ahead due to the public sector comparator having a lower net present value than the public-private partnership proposed.

I would also refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my hon. Friend the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, to this question.
