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:

During the recession and crisis when we were trying to fund in any way we could infrastructure to employ construction workers who were unemployed and to provide needed infrastructure, there was a focus on the additionality point, as well as value for money. Deputy Peter Burke mentioned the report from the European Commission. There is also a report from the National Audit Office in the United Kingdom. There is our own work which we will publish shortly. Proving there is value for money is a challenge. In time, we will see what position the Government will take.
