FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AND PRIVATE COMPANIES DELIVERING PUBLIC CONTRACTS

Early day motion 94, tabled 9 June 2015 by Paula Sherriff (Labour). Signed by 43 members.

That this House believes that private companies delivering public contracts should be subject to freedom of information requests, because at a time when public spending is under increased scrutiny, it is more important than ever that spending is transparent; and further believes that it is imperative that any organisation using public funds is accountable to the taxpayer.
