Answered Asked by Campbell Martin Ind Lodged 7 Nov 2005

The question

To ask the Scottish Executive how much it has allocated towards the funding of local authority PPP projects in total and broken down by project; how many local authority PPP projects have subsequently been referred for Executive consideration, broken down by project; how many local authority PPP projects have been agreed by the Executive, broken down by project, and whether the Executive's involvement in determining what method of development to support, providing funding towards local authority PPP projects and agreeing which projects can proceed could give rise to any conflict of interest.

The answer

Answered by Tom McCabe on 21 Nov 2005 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

The funding allocated by the Scottish Executive towards local authority PPP projects is shown in the following table. The figures represent the amount of financial support provided (or to be provided) by the Executive for these projects annually, and does not include any additional funding provided by the local authorities themselves.
The funding represents a capped annual figure and this has been (or will be) awarded for the length of the PPP contract which in most cases is 25 to 30 years. Executive funding has been confirmed in those projects marked “operational” or “at financial close” in the last column.
Further details on these projects and other PPP projects in Scotland can be found on the Financial Partnerships Unit’s website www.scotland.gov.uk/ppp.
