Proceeding contribution from Hazel Blears (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

Will the Minister acknowledge that it was in fact the previous Labour Government who introduced the legislation that enabled social enterprises to be established in the health service, and who provided significant financial support to get them off the ground? That was a Labour initiative. There are organisations such as Six Degrees, Unlimited Potential and the Angel health centre all across my city now, and they are providing excellent services. That was an initiative of the Labour Government.
