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 have expressed to several hon. Members my concern about the process of transferring assets, possibly to social enterprises, which then swiftly progress to private, commercial organisations. Does the Minister agree that where public sector assets, purchased by the taxpayer, are to be transferred to other organisations there must be an asset lock to ensure the proper stewardship of the assets and democratic governance within the legal framework of those organisations?
