Mr Gibb (Q246 to Q248)

246. Of the 9 million, presumably an element of that is rental for the property. Will an element of that continue to be paid in addition to the 14 million in the future? If so, how much?
(Sir Andrew Turnbull) It may include these things called CILOR contribution including rent, but I would have to look at that.

247. Can that be in your note?
(Sir Andrew Turnbull) The note will be what is in the £9 million and what is maybe in the £9 million which would nevertheless still continue, because it is probably a cost we bear and continue to bear-

248. For the freehold bit of the building which is already there?
(Sir Andrew Turnbull) Yes, there may be things which we are paying now which we will continue to pay. We will look at that.

Chairman: May I thank you, Sir Andrew, and your colleagues for spending the best part of three hours with us. I think this is an important issue. Although we are only talking about one building it has major implications for future PFI projects. As Barry Gardiner says, may I congratulate you on the first line of the contents, which says, "The Treasury competition was a success." Thank you very much.
