Cabinet Office written question – answered at on 4 March 2011.
The Compact outlines undertakings for Government and Civil Society organisations on partnership working-effective and transparent development and management of policy, programmes and funding. Details of Government spending on the voluntary and community sector as a whole is a matter for individual departments and not subject to agreement with Compact Voice.
However, Cabinet Office officials have met with Compact Voice to discuss their funding settlement over the next spending review period 2011-2015 which includes a significant increase in funding on the previous spending review period.
Furthermore, by making details of public spending more transparent, in particular spending on the voluntary and community sector, the coalition Government are making it easier for citizens and community organisations to challenge and hold Government to account.
