Labour government lacked clear aims for the sector, says party's policy review group - Third Sector: Labour government lacked clear aims for the sector, says party's policy review group

Panel of MPs, peers, academics, charity chiefs and umbrella bodies says party must make up its mind on public services

The Labour government did not have clear aims for voluntary sector policy beyond a general goal of increasing investment, according to a group set up to review the party’s policies.

The party’s civil society policy review group, a panel of Labour MPs, peers, academics, charity chief executives and umbrella bodies, has been set up to scrutinise the party’s record on the voluntary sector when it was in power and to propose policy suggestions that could form the basis for its next manifesto.
