To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether the public sector team of the fraud squad is investigating the NHS estates PFI scheme; and if he will make a statement. [97530]
Mr. Hutton
[holding answer 12 February 2003]: NHS Estates is not directly involved in any private finance initiative transactions.
