Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 November 2026

Debate

Charity Commission

Contribution

I am a member of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, and we have had the Charity Commission in to review matters, in the wake of its attempt to violate privilege in several cases that had been dealt with badly. Would it surprise the Minister to learn that the Charity Commission has expressed concern about the limits of its powers? One example was an incident in which a member of a charity board dealing with children had been asking for intimate photography of children. They resigned from that role, which meant that they could not be disbarred from holding an office in another charity in future, because the powers of the commission apparently did not extend that far.
