Oral answer to question provided on Wednesday, 25 April 2012 in the House of Lords, by Earl Attlee (Conservative).


Roads: Private Investment

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.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Wednesday, 25 April 2012 by Baroness Scott of Needham Market (Liberal Democrat).

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?
