The Civil Society Strategy recently set out government's long term ambition to grow social value commissioning and strengthen the Social Value Act.<\/p>

We have already committed £2.7 million to support the growth and sustainability of public service mutuals, the majority of which are staff-led social enterprises.<\/p>

<\/p>

With the Cabinet Office, DCMS is implementing a package of measures for the future of social value and procurement. This includes training for government commercial staff and will help unlock more opportunities for social enterprises.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3950", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Chatham and Aylesford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Tracey Crouch"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-09-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-09-06T11:08:32.983Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-09-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Social Enterprises"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "What steps his Department is taking to encourage the public sector to commission goods and services from social enterprises.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4595", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gareth Snell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stoke-on-Trent Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Gareth Snell"} ], "uin" : "906669"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/982539", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/982539/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Government recognises the value of spaces for young people; a place of trust and safety, that provides high quality information, advice and guidance alongside positive activities that can help young people to develop skills, improve wellbeing and participate in their communities.<\/p>

<\/p>

Local authorities are primarily responsible for allocating public funding to youth services in their area. In addition, the Government is investing up to £40 million (in partnership with the Big Lottery Fund) in the Youth Investment Fund, which is supporting 90 youth organisations around the country to create and expand open access youth projects, and is expected to benefit up to 300,000 young people. This is part of a wider range of Government investment in services and opportunities for young people such as the #iwill fund and National Citizen Service.<\/p>

The Community Life Survey 2017-18, published on 26 July 2018, reports a 4% decrease in the number of people involved in social action in their local area at least once in the last year since 2013-14, and a 5% decrease in the number of people taking part in formal volunteering at least once a month since 2013-14.<\/p>

<\/p>

As a result of moving from a face-to-face interview to an online form, it is difficult to compare the Community Life Survey 2017-18 with the results from 2013-14 due to potential skews in the types of respondents and the absence of interviewer effects.<\/p>

As outlined in the Civil Society Strategy, this Government aims to ensure that it is as easy and compelling as possible for everyone to give to the causes they most care about. In recognition of the importance of legacy giving, the Government offers a reduced rate of inheritance tax for individuals leaving charitable gifts. We also strongly support the Institute of Fundraising\u2019s Remember a Charity campaign, for example The Minister for Sport and Civil Society recently took direct action to encourage more legacy giving, urging solicitors to join the campaign and discuss leaving a gift with their clients.<\/p>

The National Governing Bodies (NGBs) of Olympic sports are responsible for the training of their athletes during the period leading up to the Olympic Games, and with it the facilities they choose. UK Sport is working closely with NGBs to determine the appropriate level of facilities needed to sustain Olympic success ahead of the Tokyo Olympic Games, which are set to run from 24 July to 9 August 2020. The British Olympic Association (BOA), as the National Olympic Committee (NOC) for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is responsible for Team GB\u2019s participation at the Olympic Games.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

UK Sport\u2019s high-performance system and investment approach is admired the world over, and Great Britain is now recognised as one of the world\u2019s most successful sporting nations. Decisions over which sports to fund in each Olympic and Paralympic cycle are made independently of Government by UK Sport.

The Gambling Commission has advised me that it undertook enhanced and significant due diligence in relation to Mr Melnik\u2019s Park Lane Club casino licence application in 2014. Based on the result of those checks it was satisfied as to his suitability to be associated with the licence. The Gambling Commission is currently reviewing Silverbond\u2019s (Park Lane Casino\u2019s) licence to provide gambling in Britain.<\/p>
