Business question from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 November 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The Leader of the House will know that the whole concept of the big society is supposed to be based on volunteers, voluntarism, the third sector and charitable intervention. Could we have an early debate about the fact that, only six months into this new Government, the sources of funding for the third sector right across the piece have either been frozen or disappeared? Such activity is essential to any society. What is he going to do about it?
