Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he is taking to support the third sector to deliver public services.
Answered by Georgia Gould - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)
The recent announcement of the Civil Society Covenant marks a new era of partnership between Government and civil society that will drive forward plans to foster closer collaboration in tackling some of society’s most pressing issues. The Covenant, which will launch in the New Year, seeks to establish a new relationship with the third sector and will support the delivery of the Government’s missions as well as our ambitious project of reform to public services so they deliver for working people.
