PROPOSAL FOR A PUBLIC SERVICE USERS BILL

Early day motion 438, tabled 28 October 2014 by Geraint Davies (Labour). Signed by 102 members.

That this House notes that public services have been privatised and outsourced without giving a voice to the public service users affected by those decisions; recognises that the public needs real powers to object to sell-offs, access information and hold private providers to account for their performance; and calls for the introduction of a Public Service Users Bill which would make the in-house option the default, require public consultation before privatisation or outsourcing and promote transparency, accountability and social value in public service contracts.

Signatures by party: Labour 75, Liberal Democrat 13, DUP 3, Plaid Cymru 3, Scottish National Party 3, Independent 2, Alliance 1, Green 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
