To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform which private finance initiative projects were approved by his Department in each of the last three financial years; and what the (a) value and (b) start date was of each. (190753)

The capital value and start date for every signed PFI project are recorded centrally on the Treasury’s website at

http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/documents/public_private _partnerships/ppp_pfi_stats.cfm

However I can confirm that BERR has not let any new PFI projects within the last three financial years.
