Written question asked by Mike Penning (Conservative) on Tuesday, 24 April 2018, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 26 April 2018. It was answered by Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) on Wednesday, 2 May 2018 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Armed Forces: Charities
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when he made the decision that Ministers will not meet military charities which are not members of Confederation of Service Charities; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
No such decision has been made. I am encouraging the service charity sector to strengthen their professional standards, and Confederation of Service Charities (COBSEO) membership is part of this. I will by exception engage with non-COBSEO charities, and part of the conversation I will have with them is to understand why they are not members of COBSEO.
