Early Day Motion (EDM) 438 is a parliamentary petition supporting our campaign for a Public Service Users Bill. It was put forward last week by Geraint Davies MP and already has 27 signatures from MPs from different parties.

EDM 438 says: “That this House notes that public services have been privatised and outsourced without giving a voice to the public service users affected by those decisions; recognises that the public needs real powers to object to sell-offs, access information and hold private providers to account for their performance; and calls for the introduction of a Public Service Users Bill which would make the in-house option the default, require public consultation before privatisation or outsourcing and promote transparency, accountability and social value in public service contracts.”

Has your MP signed the EDM? Ask them to stand up for public service users here.
