Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the annual budget for the Charity Commission; and whether it has been increased as a result of the Government's Big Society policy.
This question was answered on 28th October 2014
The Charity Commission is a regulator of the charitable sector. The Commission’s annual budget has been reduced over the last five years, as it has increasingly focused on its core regulatory functions. Its annual budget was £21.4m in 2014/15.
On 22 October the Prime Minister announced additional funding of £8m over three years to boost its ability to tackle abuse.
