Question to the Cabinet Office:

Her Majesty's Government whether they have a strategy for the outsourcing of services; and, if so, whether they plan to alter this strategy as a result of Brexit.

The driving principle underpinning the delivery of public services is – and will remain – the best value for money for the public purse. As part of this, we are committed to opening up government procurement and to identifying opportunities for private and voluntary sector involvement in service delivery where these can offer benefits to the taxpayer.
