Another £27 billion bites the dust

[Doggy Styles]

The increasing hidden costs of the government's PFI.

SNP Treasury spokesman Stewart Hosie said that in the chancellor's March 2008 Budget, the expected bill for PFI contracts until 2032 was £188.6bn.

Why did the bill increase so much in only 8 months?

They set it as a question in the Mathematics GCSE and the invigilators are still arguing over what they feel may be the correct answer as the A*'s are mostly split between two results, the B's had a rather interesting sequence, and the C's felt is should be turquoise, but most spelt it wrong or the writing was illegible, so no one is quite sure?
