Proceeding contribution from Lord Lilley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Open Public Services White Paper.
Open Public Services White Paper
May I congratulate my right hon. Friend on basing his reforms on the admirable principles of choice and of giving people the information to make informed choices and, where possible, a diversity of providers to choose between? Choice is good not only for the people making the choice, but for the vast majority who will not exercise that choice but will see the quality of services rise under the influence of choice. However, may I caution him about trying to shoe-horn too many services under one elegant, all-embracing umbrella? Experience shows that it is better to do it section by section, service by service, because the real world is never as elegant as one's intellectual constructions.
