Conditions in the funding agreement prevent funds being spent on anything other than educational work (including a prohibition on any political campaigning) and their status as a charity further preludes them from engaging in political activities.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bristol West answering member printed Stephen Williams question first answered 01/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1492 label Biography information for Stephen Williams
