Book of Estimates 2004: Statements.
10:30 am
Derek McDowell (Labour)
I have no expertise in the matter but the costs of the project have not escalated over recent years because the facilities that will be provided have been improved. I do not know who worked out the initial costs or the current costs but something has gone seriously wrong with the project. If the current costs on a PPP basis are correct, we should start again because it is a huge amount of money. Something has gone seriously wrong and it cannot be blamed on the Stability and Growth Pact.
