Proceeding contribution from Glenda Jackson (Labour) 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

Is not this White Paper the somewhat unfortunate offspring of the Minister's previous passionately held ambition to privatise the world and the first Thatcherite attempt to take away power from local authorities, which resulted in all in-house services being taken away from local political power and brought absolute chaos for those who were dependent on those services? As he has clearly not learned from those previous mistakes, how can he possibly guarantee that the same chaos will not ensue once this White Paper goes through?
