NCVO initial response to conservative party green paper
On 2 June 2008 the Conservative Party launched a Green Paper, A stronger society, voluntary action into the 21st century. The paper sets out a range of proposals on which they are seeking the views of the sector.
NCVO, on behalf of its members, intends to respond in detail to the proposals in the autumn.
