Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the case for establishing a new office of Chief Inspector of Charities in England and Wales.
We believe there is no case for a Chief Inspector of Charities.
As the independent regulator, the Charity Commission for England and Wales and can intervene where there is serious misconduct or mismanagement or risk to charity property. We are currently strengthening the regulator’s powers to intervene in the Charities (Protection and Social Investments) Bill.
