Transparency

1.8  There is currently a good level of information publicly available on PFI projects. Government resource accounts summarise financial liabilities and HM Treasury will continue to publish project-level PFI data on its website.

1.9  Government has set out the need for greater transparency across its operations. Transparency of commitments will be increased further through the Whole of Government Accounts and by the new requirement to publish tender documents and contracts for all central government projects, and all central government expenditure over £25,000.2
