The TaxPayers' Alliance is putting out a major report tomorrow on the scale of overruns in public sector capital procurement projects. We have examined over 300 projects and calculated the total overrun (which runs into many £billions), the average overrun, how much this costs each household every year (many hundreds of pounds), how many projects overran more than the Dome, and the worst departments and regions.
Here the TPA's Research Director Corin Taylor gives a brief introduction to the report.
