Ms Maria Graham:
The PPPs are never in the ownership of anyone other than the local authorities. They would be within the €11 billion. The PPPs are operational contracts but the ownership of the assets was always with the local authority. It is not like some forms of PPP in which the assets are held by the private operator. The PPPs should be within the €11 billion.
