Armed Forces: Charities
(asked on 24th April 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
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.
This question was answered on 2nd May 2018
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.
