Social Enterprises And Social Cohesion

EDM number 1364 in 2008-09, proposed by Mark Lazarowicz on 28/04/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Small businesses.

That this House recognises the important role social enterprises have in the promotion of social cohesion and sustainable development within communities, generating substantial social, cultural, environmental and economic benefits; notes the emergence of community benefit contracts which allow public bodies to legally insist on terms that bring extra benefits to disadvantaged communities such as work and training opportunities; and calls on the Government to deliver guidance for procurement officers on the use of community benefit clauses, demonstrating how social enterprises deliver added social value.

This motion has been signed by a total of 54 MPs.
