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

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the level of regulatory burden on charities.

Proportionate and balanced regulation of charities is key to helping the sector deliver the vital work that it does. The Charities Act 2022, which gained Royal Assent in February 2022, implemented Law Commission recommendations to reform a number of processes in charity law. No formal impact assessment has yet been undertaken into the level of regulatory burden on charities, but in line with Government practice DCMS intends to conduct a post-Implementation review of the Charities Act 2022 by February 2027.
