The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he has made an estimate of savings to local authorities from providing funding to local charities.

The voluntary, community and social enterprise sector plays an important role in the delivery of services and running of facilities that support happier, healthier communities. Many local authorities deliver in partnership with their community organisations, and we encourage them to continue to do so.
