Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 November 2026

Debate

Charity Commission

Contribution

The Government are rightly consulting on those additional powers for the commission—which I welcome—to disqualify people from being trustees or senior managers if they engage in conduct that promotes hatred of people on grounds of race, religion or belief, but does the Minister agree that we should not limit the powers to those three grounds? We often see discrimination in the form of misogyny or homophobia, and discrimination against disabled people. Would the Minister consider extending her proposals to cover those as well?
