Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he has taken to limit profit levels over the duration of private finance initiative contracts.

Over 86% of current PFI projects were signed prior to 2010. Since then, the standard PFI model has been reviewed and reforms have been implemented, leading to the launch of a new model – PF2 – in 2012. The new PF2 model has improved transparency, reduced procurement times and improved the flexibility of private finance contracts. Data on PFI and PF2 projects has been published at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/696091/PFI_and_PF2_projects_2017_summary_data_March_2018_web.pdf
