Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to discuss with the Charity Commission the need for charities to include in their requests for donations the level of support they receive from the Government and other public bodies; the salaries paid to the Chief Executive Officer and other senior staff; and the number of full-time and part-time paid staff employed.

Ministers regularly meet with the Charity Commission to discuss the legal and regulatory framework for charities in England and Wales. Charities are already required to provide information relating to income sources, senior staff remuneration, and the number of employed staff in their annual accounts and trustees’ annual reports. The accounts and reports of registered charities with an annual income of over £25,000 are publicly available from the Charity Commission at www.gov.uk.
