Question 1 Report

Which one of these businesses is most likely to be in the public sector? A town council operates a swimming pool, a family operates a bakery, and a private investor owns a cinema. The council pool charges users but its main aim is to provide a service for local residents.

(a) Which business is in the public sector? [1]
(b) Explain one difference between the council pool and the privately owned cinema. [2]

Answer Details

(a) The town council swimming pool is in the public sector. [1]

(b) The pool is owned or controlled by local government, the town council. [1] In contrast, the cinema is privately owned and mainly aims to make profit for its owner. [1]

A public-sector organisation may charge users, but this does not make it private-sector. The key evidence is public ownership and the aim of providing a service for local residents.
