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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps the Government is taking to uphold the commitment it made at the 9th Commonwealth Youth Ministers meeting in point 15 of the Final Communiqué to develop policies and strategies to promote youth and social entrepreneurship and financial inclusion.

Charities and social enterprises play an important role in the government’s mission of building an economy that works for everyone. The government is committed to continuing to support the development of social enterprises, including those run by young entrepreneurs, by supporting social enterprise awareness campaigns, championing procurement for social value, building a robust and sustainable social investment market and expanding the social investment tax relief.
