Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the status is of each (a) private finance initiative and (b) public-private partnership project under consideration by his Department; and when he expects the contracts to be signed in each case.
Answer

Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) Preferred bidder
Royal School of Military Engineering (RSME) Preferred bidder
