This bill would push for public ownership of public services and a rule that services should, where possible, be run by the public sector or not-for-profit bodies. It also aims to make public services more answerable to citizens by boosting transparency and giving people more say in how services are run, including those delivered by private companies.
The bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage for detailed examination and then onto further stages in Commons and Lords.
