Lord Keen of Elie
My Lords, I am prepared to accept that the noble Lord is not unique. Be that as it may, we currently have no proposals to contract out the guarding of Buckingham Palace or any other royal institution.
Lord Judd (Lab)
My Lords, when the Government are approaching these matters, do they evaluate or take into account the invaluable contribution to the quality of the service when people are working for it directly and taking pride in that, rather than feeling that they are working for the profits of a private company?
Lord Keen of Elie
With respect to the noble Lord, people can quite rightly take pride in the fact that they are working for a service even where it is privatised.
