'Ministers must halt all privatisation' following HMP Birmingham scandal
Labour warns outsourcing is 'putting the public in danger'

MINISTERS must halt all privatisation following their crisis intervention at the stricken G4S-run Birmingham prison, Labour said today.
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said outsourcing was now “putting the public in danger,” warning: “Birmingham Prison, Carillion and East Coast Rail have all collapsed because of failed Tory privatisation.
“This has to be a wake-up call and a turning point in how our public services are run so we can protect the public instead of private profit.”
