I would refer the Deputy to Chapter Five of the Report of the Comptroller & Auditor General 2009 (Volume 1) which was published in September 2010. This chapter, entitled "Financial Commitments under Public Private Partnerships," provides information about the financial commitments entered into by central Government departments and agencies under PPP contracts. Figures for 2010 will appear in the Comptroller and Auditor General's Report for 2010 which will be published later this year. The Deputy will be aware that my Department has put in place the overall PPP investment framework, including the framework for the appraisal, assessment, procurement and evaluation of projects. Individual Departments are responsible for the projects and programmes in their areas, within that overall framework. Further details about individual projects can be obtained directly from the relevant Department.
