Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to page 15 of the Government's Civil Society Strategy published in August 2018, whether his Department has established a responsible business Leadership Group.

The Department, together with BEIS, has consulted with key stakeholders from business and civil society as a first phase of establishing the Responsible Business Leadership Group. We are carefully considering input on the specific questions to be posed to the Group, on its Chair and membership, and on its relationship to other business councils. Both Departments are committed to ensuring that the Leadership Group is established in a way that reflects a balance of business interests in the UK, and that it makes meaningful progress on issues of business responsibility.
