§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will provide a breakdown by Department of the estimated capital expenditure under the Private Finance Initiative in 2001–02. [26269]
§ Mr. Andrew SmithDetailed figures setting out estimates of capital investment by the private sector in support of PFI deals (both signed and those at preferred bidder) and estimated payments made by Government under PFI contracts are published in the Financial Statement and Budget Report each year. Tables C16 and C17 of Budget 2001 include the latest projections of capital expenditure by the private sector under the Private Finance Initiative, broken down by Department, for 2001–02. In line with past practice, I expect to update these figures shortly.
