Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, on how many occasions between 2020 and 2025 did the Charity Commission withdraw charitable status from previoulsy registered charities, following investigations into those same groups.

Between 2020 and 2025, the Charity Commission has made orders for 4 charities to be wound up under s84B of the Charities Act 2011. It found in all cases that there had been misconduct or mismanagement in the administration of the charity, that making the order was expedient in the public interest and that either the charity did not operate or that the charity's purposes could be promoted more effectively if it ceased to operate. The Charity Commission does not have the power to remove charitable status.
