HC Deb 22 April 2002 vol 384 c89W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will list the(a) private finance initiative and (b) public private partnership projects which have been delayed. [44883]

Mr. Wills

Contract signature was delayed on the following private finance initiative (PFI) projects:

  • CCS;
  • ARAMIS;
  • Libra;
  • Probate Records Centre;
  • Hereford and Worcester magistrates' courts;
  • Humberside magistrates' courts;
  • Manchester magistrates' court; and
  • Derbyshire magistrates' courts.
  • Contract signature has also been delayed on the following PFI projects which are still in procurement:
  • Sheffield Family Hearing Court;
  • East Anglia Scheme;
  • Exeter Combined Court;
  • Avon and Somerset magistrates' courts; and
  • Bedford magistrates' court.

Contract signature has also been delayed on the Bristol Civil Justice Centre, which is a non-PFI public private partnership.

A project has been treated as delayed where contract signature has not been achieved by the date that was expected when the project was advertised in the Official Journal of the European Community.
