Proceeding contribution from Hazel Blears (Labour) 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
I am sorry to interrupt the hon. Gentleman, but my point is important. If he is so concerned, as I am, about large national contracts that exclude small, innovative organisations from providing services, will he have a word with his right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, who is going through a process for the single Work programme? Many social enterprises have concerns about that, because it looks as if we are going to go down the route towards massive national contracts and national organisations. That will again make it difficult for small organisations to get into that Work programme, which is a key area for personalised services and innovation.
