Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer 14 March 2019 to Question 229162 on Charity Commission: Finance, how many years the additional Government funding of £5 million per year agreed for the Charity Commission will continue.

The Charity Commission is the regulator of charities in England and Wales. In January 2018, the government awarded the Commission an additional £5m per year from April 2018 to help respond to increasing demand on its core regulatory functions. This funding was awarded as an interim solution, while the Commission considers longer term, more sustainable funding models, including consulting on charging the largest charities. The future funding for the Charity Commission will be considered as part of the upcoming spending review.
