HC Deb 31 October 2002 vol 391 c995W
Mr. Andrew Turner

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer what his assessment is of the aggregate liability of public funds for PFI schemes concluded in each year since 1997. [78294]

Mr. Boateng

Detailed figures setting out estimates of future payments to be made under PFI contracts are published in the Financial Statement and Budget Report each year. Table C19 of Budget 2002 includes the latest projections of estimated payments for services provided under the Private Finance Initiative for the years 2002–03 to 2027–28.

In line with past practice, I expect to update these figures shortly.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what his assessment is of the capital value of PFI schemes concluded in each year since 1997. [78295]

Mr. Boateng

Estimates of capital investment by the private sector in support of PFI projects (both signed and those at preferred bidder) are published in the Financial Statement and Budget Report each year. Tables C17 and C18 of Budget 2002 include the latest projections of capital expenditure by the private sector under the private finance initiative, broken down by department, for 2002–03 to 2004–05. In line with past practice, I expect to update these figures shortly.
