Social Value Bill passes Lords second reading
31 January 2012
The private member’s bill, introduced by Chris White, the Conservative MP for Warwick and Leamington, is designed to make public sector commissioners take into account the social value bidders can offer alongside financial considerations.
The bill was sent to be considered at committee stage by the whole House of Lords and if there are no more amendments to the bill by peers, it could become law within the next month.
Quoted in Third Sector magazine, Chris White said: "This bill is a great opportunity for us to not only spend public money better but also to support voluntary organisations, community groups and social enterprises across the country."
