Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what representations the Social Investment Business made to his Department about its proposal to alter the criteria which ensured that the Get In project of the Society Network Foundation received funds when they already had been turned down.

The department received confirmation from Society Network Foundation (SNF) in October 2012 that the funds had been spent in line with the grant agreement.

Cabinet Office and Social Investment Business (SIB) worked together to ensure that a good range of projects was funded through the Social Action Fund.

It is a long-standing convention that details of internal discussions are not normally disclosed.
