Citizens Advice Bureaux

Lord Young of Norwood Green Excerpts

Tuesday 8th February 2011 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Wilcox]

With the local authorities, consultation happens at all times and at all levels to make sure that money is being as well spent as possible. One of the things that we try to emphasise to local authorities is that the voluntary sector is enormously good value for money. This is one of the reasons why these bureaux have been so successful, manned as they have been for so many years by volunteers—since 1939, I think, or 70 years continuously. They certainly are to be congratulated.
