Lord Wallace of Saltaire (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 November 2025

Debate

Charities: Advancement of Religion

Contribution

My Lords, the charities about which my noble friend is talking often get a great deal of funding from the United States, from extreme, allegedly Christian evangelical foundations. Do the Government intend to use the extended powers they are giving to the Charity Commission to insist on greater transparency about funding of charities? Will that require new legislation, or can it be done through the Charity Commission?
