To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he is taking to ensure that charities report surplus funds awarded to them by the Government.

Mr Rob Wilson

All charities in receipt of government grants should submit a final budget reconciliation to the grant giver at the end of the grant demonstrating how all funds have been spent on the activities specified in the grant letter. The Cabinet Office’s published standard terms and conditions of the grant includes the right to recover the grant if it has not been used for the purposes and activities agreed or if terms and conditions have not been met.
