(2) what the value was of annual private finance initiative payments made by his Department from (a) capital and (b) revenue budgets in each of the last five years;

(3) what value of annual private finance initiative payments by his Department was classified as (a) identifiable and (b) non-identifiable in each of the last five years, broken down by project;

(4) what value of annual private finance initiative (PFI) payments by his Department was (a) to repay capital and (b) expenditure on other parts of each PFI contract in each of the last five years, broken down by project.

Mr. Hain
The Wales Office does not have any private finance initiative projects. Under the machinery of Government change, in June 2003 the Wales Office became a separate entity within the Department for Constitutional Affairs (now Ministry of Justice).

Prior to 2003 the Wales Office services were supplied by the National Assembly for Wales.
