Business, Innovation and Skills written question – answered at on 24 January 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what steps his Department is taking to measure progress on the implementation of policies supporting the big society initiative; and if he will make a statement.
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), leads on promoting, focusing and facilitating the contribution of businesses to the big society under Every Business Commits. I chair a joint BIS and Cabinet Office Steering Group, with Sir Philip Green who has been appointed as our adviser on corporate responsibility and Every Business Commits. The Steering Group provides the leadership for, and oversight of, progress across Government on our priorities.
Existing departmental business planning monitors progress on other BIS policies that contribute to the big society's drive to put individuals and communities in control: for example, empowering consumers, increasing learner choices, and supporting local enterprise partnerships.
