Dr Luke Evans

Conservative — Hinckley and Bosworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 November 2025

Debate

New Hospital Programme

Contribution

I am pleased to hear that the Minister does, given that it is her current policy. The last time the Government brought in private finance, they brought in the private finance initiative, which brought in £13 billion of investment. The problem was that it cost the taxpayer a whopping £80 billion, and hospitals are still paying decades on. This time around, will the Government give a cast-iron guarantee and complete confidence to the public that this is not Labour’s version of PFI mark 2?
