Shadow minister wades in to Big Society Network funding controversy

Shadow minister wades in to Big Society Network funding controversy: Shadow minister for civil society Gareth Thomas has tabled a series of Parliamentary questions to minister Nick Hurd about the government's funding of Big Society Network and its allocation of Social Action Fund money.

The questions were tabled just as Nesta has confirmed that it gave statutory grants totalling �480,000 to Big Society Network in 2010 without holding a competitive pitch, to help it set itself up and deliver various projects.
