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, what steps her Department has taken towards convening a cross-government group to work with civil society to establish the principles of effective involvement in the policy-making process.

The Civil Society Strategy sets out our vision for government’s work with and for civil society over the next 10 years and beyond. The Strategy recognised the need to work with civil society and across government to establish principles of effective involvement in the policy-making process. The details of this cross-government group will be set out in due course.
