E...This is all part of the Tory neo-liberal agenda.<br />Excellent summary of this policy by Thomas Frank - The Wrecking Crew - how Govt functions (in US but Here too) are privatised and the lobbyists working to achieve this. The only way these contractors can make enough profit is to reduce staff and services. See recent Home Office plan -the transfer of helpline staff from Equality and Human Rights Commission offices in Birmingham, Cardiff and Glasgow to a new call centre in Stratford upon Avon run by private company Sitel.<br />Sitel has stated that it does not recognise trade unions for collective bargaining at any of its sites in the UK, but the union has pointed out it will be in breach of the law if it enforces this for EHRC staff who are due to be transferred to the company on 1 October. The company is also planning to dismiss more experienced advisors when it takes on the contract. All part of a pattern! the net result is that we end up with less effective and less accountability.
