The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when he plans to publish guidance to charities on the implementation of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

Answered by Kate Dearden

This government recognises the significant public value delivered by the UK’s charitable sector.

We have consulted on the implementation of the subscriptions regime in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024. The consultation received over 70 responses, including 15 from charitable organisations. The government is reflecting on their responses and engaging closely with the sector to understand the impacts on both consumers and these bodies.

We will provide guidance to support implementation of regulations ahead of commencement.
