Abstract
Privately financed projects have been with us since Victorian times, when investors rushed to put their money into railways and made (or lost) fortunes. More recently, projects such as the Channel Tunnel, the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge at Dartford and the Second Severn Crossing have gone forward with private finance. Here the author looks at the prospects for involving private sector companies in paying for public projects
