Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how much funding each Citizens Advice Bureau in Wales has received from his Department in each of the last five years.

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) fund the national umbrella body for the Citizens Advice Service in England and Wales – Citizens Advice – on behalf of all Government departments and the Welsh Government.

Central Government does not fund individual Citizens Advice Bureaux who receive funding from a variety of public, charity and private sources, with core funding typically provided by the Local Authority in which they are located.

BIS does not hold information on funding of individual bureaux.
