Big Society Network

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 7 November 2014 to Question 212813, for what purpose the Big Society Network used the office space provided by his Department.

Answer

DCMS provided some vacant office space at 179A Tottenham Court Road to the Big Society Network from 28/7/2010 to 26/11/2010, while the Department was seeking a commercial sub-tenant. As the space was unused but waiting to be let no additional costs were incurred to the public purse. The Department also loaned the BSN 5 PCs and a printer and made available access to the wifi connection. Again no additional costs were incurrred to the public purse and BSN did not have access to DCMS systems. The office space was used by BSN for office use.
