Surprise, Surprise...
Ministers claim they have inherited a hidden £65m liability for privately-financed school projects that the previous Labour-LibDem administration failed to budget for in full.
...by 2010-11 will be £165m as the true cost of the exponential rise in the value contracts has become clear.
These were only £17m last year but leapt to £48m this year before reaching £137m next year and a total of £165m by the final year of this parliament, all for projects that have already been built, are under construction, or have been approved.
