§ Mr. Alan HowarthTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to involve representatives of local government in the planning and oversight of the "Make a Difference" initiative on volunteering.
§ Mr. Peter LloydI very much hope that local government will want to play a full and active part in "Make a Difference". My officials have already met local authority associations to discuss ways in which local government can be involved, and several local government representatives attended the launch on 1 March.
