Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 February 2026

Debate

Think Tanks: Funding

Contribution

My Lords, if a think tank is a charity, it is subject to regulation by the Charity Commission. If it is engaging in election activity, it is subject to the Electoral Commission for any spend over £10,000 and donations over £700. But the noble Lord raises an important point, which is why we asked Philip Rycroft to undertake his review, and I look forward to reading it at the end of March.
