Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, in light of the Committee for Privileges in the House of Commons report, Matter referred on 4 September 2025: Actions of the Charity Commission, whether they retain confidence in (1) the chief executive, and (2) the board, of the Charity Commission.

The Charity Commission has apologised unreservedly to Parliament in response to the House of Commons Committee for Privileges report, and has accepted the report in full. I have full confidence in the leadership of the Charity Commission, and am confident that the board is taking action to address the concerns raised by the report, and to learn lessons in its handling of similar cases going forward.
