The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make an estimate of the number of people who are employed to deliver public services by private sector organisations that have been contracted for this purpose by Government Departments.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Cabinet Office does not hold information on the estimated number of people employed by private sector organisations contracted by Government Departments to deliver public services. Individual departments are responsible for managing their contracts in the usual way.
