Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department plans to provide compensation to provisional grantees under the Small Charities Challenge Fund and Community Partnership Fund whose funding was withdrawn as a result of reductions in the aid budget.

As is standard practice across the sector, there are no plans to compensate applicants who applied for grants under round 6 of the Small Charities Challenge Fund or for community partnership grants under round 4 of UK Aid Direct.
