Sustainable Communities Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lynda Waltho (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 15 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Sustainable Communities Bill.
I understand what the right hon. Gentleman is saying about a body such as Business Link, but perhaps he or other members of the Public Bill Committee will be able to help me with something with which I am struggling. If the community in Stourbridge decided that the local Jobcentre Plus was not fulfilling its function, what safeguards would there be to prevent the local council from charging an employment agency to take over that function? I am worried about the consequences of dismantling of the important mechanisms of state that are in place for the most vulnerable.
