answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2018 answer text <p>In England, all funding released from dormant assets so far has been put towards social investment initiatives by Big Society Capital. However, in January 2018 the Department for Digital, Culture, Media &amp; Sport committed to use £55 million from new tranches of dormant asset funding on financial inclusion in England.
