A Labour Government would oversee the ‘biggest wave of insourcing for a generation,’ deputy leader Angela Rayner has said.

In a speech at the party’s annual conference yesterday, Ms Rayner said Labour would raise standards by ‘clawing back the public’s money from those who fail to deliver for taxpayers’ and ‘striking off failed providers’ to ensure failure was not rewarded.

Under Labour, before any service is contracted out, public bodies would have to show the work ‘could not be done better in-house’ and the party would ‘end the scandal of outsourced workers getting second class pay and conditions’.

General secretary of trade union Unison, Christina McAnea, said: ‘Angela Rayner’s pledge to launch a wave of insourcing will put the emphasis on delivering better services - not racking up profit on bargain-basement wages.’
