Proceeding contribution from Gareth Thomas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 25 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Services (Social Value) Bill.


Public Services (Social Value) Bill

My recollection is slightly different; we remember that in the 1980s there were substantial cuts in bus services after privatisation. Arguably, that is not the point. The key point is whether the assets should remain in the ownership of the public sector or, if not, in that of members of the public who are combining in a social enterprise. The asset lock clause seeks to achieve just that.
