Q14.

asked the Prime Minister what Government policy is towards the privatisation of local authority managed refuse collecting and other municipally employed labour activities.

Our policy continues to be to encourage local authorities to provide services by the most economical and cost-effective means available, including the use of private sector contractors where this presents the best option.
