Mr. Fred Barry:
PPP contracts are managed by the NRA. In most contracts, there has been little or no uplift in the payment to contractors beyond the original tender price.
There was some uplift on the M3 but it was a fraction of what we are speaking of here and, on other ones, I think I am right in saying there was negligible uplift. On other parts of the motorway, where the contracts were managed directly by the local authorities, I am sure there were claims and payments all around the place.
