Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 November 2026

Debate

Charity Commission

Contribution

I commend the hon. Lady for her assiduousness in bringing forward this issue. Although the Charity Commission should have teeth, does she agree that it is the job of enforcement agents such as HMRC, or indeed the local council, to take a bite out of those who are in breach? The delineation of powers must be clear, and that is one thing that charities perhaps needs some help with.
