Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth on 29 November (HL3286), what discussions they have had with the Charity Commission about their legal resources and ability to quickly address issues raised by tenants of the National Trust.

The Department for Communities and Local Government has not had any conversations with the Charity Commission regarding their resources.

Tenants of National Trust properties can refer concerns to the Charity Commission, who are the independent regulator of charities, where they consider there to be a breach of charity law.
