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
