Proceeding contribution from Steve Baker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 19 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Services (Social Enterprise and Social Value) Bill.

Public Services (Social Enterprise and Social Value) Bill

Listening to the right hon. Lady's remarks, I am reminded of a book on social value that was written in the 1920s. Much as I would associate myself with almost everything that my hon. Friend the Member for Warwick and Leamington (Chris White) said, it seems that socialists have spent nearly 100 years trying, but failing, to define social value loosely. Socialists are no more likely to succeed today than they were in the 1920s. I ask the right hon. Lady to state in concrete terms how she would measure social value.
