Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, with references to Technical Issues in Charity Law, published by the Law Commission in September 2017, whether he plans to take steps in response to the recommendations in that report.
The Law Commission’s report, Technical Issues in Charity Law makes a number of recommendations for simplifying charity law. We are giving the report’s recommendations full consideration and will respond in due course. Primary Legislation would be required to implement many of the report’s recommendations, and the Charity Commission would need additional resources to update its systems and guidance.
