Dear
1. Re: Freedom of Information Act 2000
Thank you for your email of 17 June in which you requested from the Insolvency Service: Please provide the following information:
“What was the membership fee given to Stonewall as part of their Diversity Champions programme in each of 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 by your organisation?
What additional monies have been given to Stonewall in each of 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21? Specifically, this incorporates:
Events/conferences (where, for example, your organisation has purchased tickets to attend or entered raffles or auctions organised by Stonewall). Please name any events/conferences that your organisation attended and the date attended.
Other programmes (such as LGВТ Leadership programme, LGВТ Role Model programme, Ally and/or Trans Ally programmes, as well as Train the Trainer programmes).”
Your request has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
I can confirm the agency holds the information that you have requested and I have provided answers to your questions below:
Membership fees (inclusive of VAT) paid to Stonewall from 2018 - 2021 are as follows:
2018-19: £3,000
2019-20: £3,000
2020-21: £3,000.
We have not encountered any further expenditure with them for any additional events, programmes, etc.
If you are not satisfied with the response we have provided you and would like us to reconsider our decision by way of an internal review (IR), pleasecontact our Information Rights Team at foi@insolvency.gov.uk or by post at:
