Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Civil Service Muslim Network receives financial support from departments or other public funds; and if so, how that expenditure is recorded, authorised and scrutinised.

The Civil Service Muslim Network (CSMN) is a volunteer collaborative group of Civil Service staff. The majority of staff network time is voluntary. The CSMN network does not hold a budget, but a department can choose to provide support where there is a business case to do so. We are not aware of any such financial support and there has been no central funding.
