SNP demands end to PFI deals
A REVIEW ordered by the Scottish Executive into the private finance deal used to build West Lothian College should be the trigger for an end to new PFI and PPP schemes, Scottish Nationalists said today.
SNP education spokeswoman and Lothians MSP Fiona Hyslop said the review of the West Lothian College scheme followed in the wake of the failure of similar schemes for the Skye Bridge and Inverness Airport.
She said: "This is yet another example of the costly failures of Labour's costly PFI and PPP schemes.
"Who in their right mind would plan to use PFI to deliver vital projects like the new Forth crossing or better schools and hospitals when time and time again they are proved to be flawed?"
