Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Scott of Needham Market (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Wednesday, 25 April 2012.


Roads: Private Investment

Question
My Lords, given that the objective of government is to encourage the investment of private finance in the transport sector, do the alternatives include the slightly less risky idea of creating a fund into which private investors can put money to invest in a portfolio of transport projects both new and existing?
Answer

My Lords, I am not quite sure about the exact proposal that my noble friend puts forward, but we are looking at all options and I will be grateful for any input from noble Lords into possible models.
