Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, for what reasons no funds from Libor fines were allocated in the Spring Budget 2017.

The governance of LIBOR Grants complies fully with the mandated requirements of the ‘Minimum Standards for Government Grants’ which came into force on 1st December 2016. The details of any future LIBOR grants scheme open for public application will be published on the gov.uk website and advertised widely through social media and across the charity sector. All applications that meet the published criteria will be considered fully.

No funds from Libor fines were allocated in the Spring Budget 2017 due to insufficient time being available between the Autumn Statement 2016 and the Budget, in which to conduct mandated due diligence on the significant number of applications anticipated.
