Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bridges of Headley on 25 February (HL6124), what is their definition of "political campaigning and lobbying", and how they expect charities to establish that any expenditure on such campaigning and lobbying is funded exclusively from their own resources.

The Cabinet Office's interim guidance on applying the new clause in government grant agreements can be found online at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/interim-guidance-on-applying-a-new-clause-in-government-grant-agreements

Grant agreements are routinely subject to conditions, as well as a monitoring/audit process. The new grant clause builds on those existing processes

The new clause has successfully been trialled by the Department for Communities and Local Government over the last 12 months.
