Carillion collapse: the dangers of outsourcing
Rehana Azam, GMB National Secretary for Public Services, said:
"PFI was a disastrous policy that saddled taxpayers with extortionate charges while low-paid workers were outsourced on inferior terms and conditions.
"As historic PFI contracts finally end, Ministers must intervene to prevent a bonanza for private equity profiteers and fat cat consultants.
"All services that were outsourced under PFI must be returned in-house to the public sector, where they belong.”
