Written answers

My Department provides very limited direct funding to non-statutory bodies, less than 0.01% of total vote spend is to non-statutory bodies. In light of the materiality of such spending my Department does not require non-statutory bodies to provide their financial statements or other documentary reporting on their overall activities.

Reporting requirements are related to the use of any funding provided. As funding is provided at irregular intervals, there is no required frequency of reporting or related penalties or sanctions levied by my Department.
