HC Deb 18 January 2002 vol 378 cc544-5W
Paul Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what work previously out-sourced from Government Departments to the private sector he plans to in-source back to Departments. [26032]

Mr. Blunkett

Where provision of a service has been contracted out to a private company, any decision on future delivery will be based on value for money considerations, including performance and departmental requirements. We currently have no plans to bring back into the core Home Office any services which have been contracted out.
