Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department has reviewed its policy on awarding grants as a result of the cancellation of the Garden Bridge project.

Whilst not connected to the cancellation of the Garden Bridge project, the Cabinet Office published a set of minimum standards for government general grants in December 2016. The standards cover the end-to-end process and are designed to ensure that government grants administration is efficient, effective and offers value to taxpayers. The standards and supporting guidance are published on gov.uk.
