PFI companies like 'legal loan sharks'

Today

Available for over a year

Labour MP Stella Creasy has said she wants to see the government impose a windfall tax on PFI companies to recover taxpayers money - branding the companies "legal loan sharks". This comes as the public spending watchdog says taxpayers will have to pay nearly £200bn for schemes set up under Private Finance Initiatives, under which companies build and maintain schools, hospitals and other projects in return for an annual payment.
