The government is building on its role as a world leader in social enterprise by championing procurement for social value, supporting social enterprise awareness campaigns, building the social investment market, using social enterprises to address issues at scale and expanding social investment tax relief. Social enterprises employing or supporting ex-prisoners, or indeed anyone with a disadvantage that makes it difficult for them to access the job market, are included in the government’s social enterprise support set out above.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 27/03/2017 10:45:25 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
