uin	HL13530
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2019 answer text <p>Public service mutuals are under no obligation to notify the Government’s Mutuals Team, based in DCMS, when they are created or if they cease operating. There is therefore no formal register of the number of public service mutuals. However our records show that 119 public service mutuals have been created since May 2010. Of these, 110 continue to be active. Nine no longer operate, with their services either no longer delivered, or now delivered within the public sector or by another private sector organisation.</p><p> </p><p>The government has committed £4 million between 2017-2020 to support the growth and development of the mutuals sector.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 19/02/2019 12:48:03 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
