Proceeding contribution from Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 October 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Third Sector Review.


Third Sector Review

The hon. Gentleman makes a good point. Antur Waunfawr happens to have grown to a sufficient size to engage in a social audit. It pulled in people like me—I gave a day of my time to it—because it was a thorough investigation, which took qualitative and quantitive evidence from local people involved in the organisation in a long drawn-out session. However, as the hon. Gentleman points out, not all organisations can do that. I emphasise the third sector's potential to contribute to local life and the local economy and its key role in helping formulate, develop and implement policy. I look to see the third sector grow in my area. The roots are deep and should be nurtured.
