Asked by: Lord Godson (Conservative - Life peer)
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what official warnings have been issued, or enforcement action taken, by the Charity Commission in the past 24 months in relation to Islamic Human Rights Commission or its affiliates, including the IHRC Trust.
Answered by Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)
The Charity Commission issued the Islamic Human Rights Commission Trust with an Official Warning on 28 March 2023. This was due to concerns about the Trust’s management of its relationship with a non-charitable entity, the Islamic Human Rights Commission, and its failure to comply with legal reporting requirements.
The Official Warning was given following regulatory advice previously issued by the Charity Commission to the Trust. Further details of the Official Warning are publicly available on the Islamic Human Rights Commission Trust’s entry on the register of charities.
The Islamic Human Rights Commission is not a registered charity and does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Charity Commission.
