Charities: Political Impartiality
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what guidance the Charity Commission has given to charities on issuing political commentary on (a) the Government and (b) opposition political parties.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The Charity Commission has long-standing clear guidance for charities on what is permitted within the limits of charity law in relation to campaigning and political activity. The Commission also has a 'five-minute guide' on political campaigning to help trustees understand the rules, and recently published guidance on campaigning during the Senedd and local elections.
