Tim Boswell (Daventry, Conservative)
Will my hon. Friend consider the position in which there is a partial contracting out of a particular function by CMEC, with some activity—perhaps geographically defined—in the private sector, and another part of the country covered by direct arrangements? Is it not particularly important that at some stage, subject to the constraints that he has already expressed, the general public should have a handle on whether what is being run by the private sector is as efficient or superior to the delivery and direct provision of the public sector?
