Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships

9:00 am

Mr. Robert Watt:

Significant sums, absolutely. Many of the treatment plants, waterworks, sewage plants and so on would be on that basis. They are all fully on balance sheet because they are not financed. We enter into different contracts. In effect, the Exchequer would procure it, pay for it upfront, but the operation of it would then be subject to a contract, not the financing. That is different. That is on balance sheet and is not spread over a 20- or 25-year period.
