    Here is a full well informed article on what I referred to above giving more details of the Robinson/Davis meeting and what NuLab planned. There are other sources such as the Yorkshire Post that touch on the subject but this is the more detailed account.

    One paragraph to wet the appetite:

    """As the conversation turned to the inevitable Labour victory, Mr Robinson said how much he was looking forward to turning the government spending tap on again, putting an end to what he saw as the years of Tory parsimony. Mr Davis was bewildered. 'You can't do that,' he replied. 'You've promised to keep within our spending plans.' The future Paymaster-General smiled broadly. 'We're going to do it as capital,' he said. 'And then put it on as PFI.'"""
