Robin Walker – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Cabinet Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Robin Walker on 2016-03-03.

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what progress his Department has made on developing social finance.

Mr Rob Wilson

The UK is recognised as the world leader in social investment.

Across the country, social investment is helping social enterprises tackle issues and transform lives. It has an important role in building a more sustainable, resilient social sector.

We have created funds and programmes, which support these organisations to access investment and increase their impact.

I want this leadership to continue, and this Government is absolutely committed to growing this essential marketplace.
