Local Government: Private Finance Initiative
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what information his Department holds on the annual cost to local authorities of servicing Private Finance Initiative contracts.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) collect the Unitary Payment information for all PFI Contracts held by Local Authorities annually as part of the HM Treasury PFI Data collection exercise. This is shared with relevant Sponsoring Government Departments on a project-by-project basis, the data is not aggregated by Authority but shown per contract.
