Labour would end Tory ‘procurement racket’ to cut wasteful spending, vows Angela Rayner
Contracts would be handed out in ‘national interest’ with job-creation requirement under Labour plan

In her speech to the Labour conference on Sunday, Ms Rayner will vow to stop “sleaze merchants” doing business with the public sector and ban suppliers who repeatedly fail to deliver.
The deputy leader said Labour’s plan would make sure contracts are handed out in the “national interest” by insisting that suppliers create more jobs, train workers and invest in communities.
