§ Mr. SandersTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, pursuant to her answer of 8 March 2002,Official Report, column 592W, what information she collates on the funding of non-Governmental organisations by her Department, with particular reference to those operating on a regional basis; and if she will make a statement. [43917]
§ Ms HewittMy Department does not hold information centrally on the amount of funding it provides to the charitable or voluntary sectors by region.
Overall information on Government funding of the voluntary sector can be found in the Home Office research publication "Central Government Funding of Voluntary and Community Organisations 1982–83 to 1999–2000", copies of which are in the Libraries of the House. This includes information on the proportion of that funding provided by my Department.
