Huw Irranca-Davies: The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has not entered into any private finance initiative contracts in any of the last four years.
The Department facilitates local authorities to enter into PFI contracts in the waste sector using credits provided through HM Treasury, but it is not itself one of the parties in these deals.
