The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps his Department is taking to insource public services.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Government is determined to deliver high quality public services and better value for money for the taxpayer. To further this aim, we have committed to introducing a public interest test to assess whether expiring contracts could be better delivered, and drive better value for money, in-house. This will ensure that we make evidenced-based decisions on the best way to deliver public services.
