answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2018 answer text <p>The Treasury has not made an assessment of community benefit societies’ access to banking. However, the RBS alternative remedies package will see a £775m investment in business banking facilities, helping businesses benefit from greater choice and offers on banks’ services. Community benefit societies may also find it helpful to know that the UK Finance website hosts an online guide to help small businesses prepare when opening or switching to a new business current account. This can be found here: https://business-account-opening-guide.ukfinance.org.uk</p><p> </p><p>The government recognises the important role of community benefit societies and other forms of social enterprise, which tackle some of the most challenging problems our society faces. In January 2018 DCMS announced £135m allocated to social investment, which social enterprises will benefit from. The Civil Society Strategy, published in August 2018, sets out a long term vision to build stronger communities by bringing business, charities and the public sector together.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 06/09/2018 15:38:46 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
