Nick Thomas-Symonds
Yes, absolutely. That is why it is so important for the public interest test that we look at the different contracts right across Government. I agree.
Ruth Cadbury (Brentford and Isleworth) (Lab)
I thank the Minister for this statement. Time and again, our constituents have been failed by outsourced companies; it is not just Capita, and it is not just Government services. Following on from an earlier question, what else will the Minister do to ensure that the other parts of the public sector—Government agencies, local government and so on—can learn from what he is now putting in place in future on outsourced contracts?
Nick Thomas-Symonds
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. That is why the introduction of the public interest test to end outsourcing by default is so important for systemic change.
