It is hard for me to comment on individual cases without knowing the detail of the overall costs and the starting costs. PPPs are only progressed if they provide value for money. To go back to my original point, in the vast majority of cases, they have been delivered on time and within budget. New PPP projects will only be approved if they are going to provide value for money and if they can be delivered. I apologise that I cannot comment specifically on individual cases. I am not clear on what the initial costs were and what, potentially, the current costs may be.
