HC Deb 12 March 2003 vol 401 c284W
Mr. Stephen O'Brien

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he will publish the Government's future plans for the voluntary sector. [102011]

Mr. Boateng

Following the publication of the "Next Steps on Volunteering and Giving in the UK" discussion document in December, we are now consulting a wide range of stakeholders in the voluntary sector and beyond on the Corporate Challenge to develop a package to encourage businesses to support their communities; and on the Gap Year Pilots to encourage young people to volunteer. The results will be publicised in due course. In addition, a consultation document on futurebuilders will be published soon and will be available in the House Library.

Forward to
