The Government recognises the strategic importance of the A55 to the Welsh economy, particularly to the port of Holyhead.

Social Impact Bonds have been used by a range of commissioners, both national and local, to commission public services. DCMS has not estimated total savings delivered to the public purse using Social Impact Bonds since 2010.

Several Social Impact Bond programmes have been independently evaluated and some of these evaluations estimate savings. The Government Outcomes Lab, a partnership initiative between DCMS and the Blavatnik School of Government at Oxford University, provides links to SIB evaluations in their online publications library.

We published the Civil Society Strategy in August 2018. This sets out government's vision for how it will work with and for civil society to address social challenges and create a fairer society for all. In creating the Strategy we engaged widely with central government departments and it includes statements from ten government ministers.

At a departmental level my officials work closely with civil society stakeholders when developing policy, and will continue to work with them in delivering the strategy.

The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales is not an employer in its own right. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) provide employer services on our behalf. However, members of staff can apply for universal credit in a personal capacity and there are a number of different factors which determine whether or not an individual is eligible. MoJ has no central record from which to determine the number and proportion of its staff in receipt of universal credit and it is not therefore possible to make an estimate of numbers.
