The Report: Public Services and the Third Sector: Rhetoric
and Reality, released on 9 July 2008, is significant because
it is the first ever Select Committee report focused on the third
sector.

organisations in the third sector. It wanted to assess the impact
on government, the third sector and, most importantly, 'the effect
on service users and the public at large'.
