Lisa Nandy MP Labour’s Shadow Minister for Civil Society, responding to the report today by the NAO regarding the effectiveness of the Charity Commission, said:
 
“This damning report paints a picture of a regulator that is slow to act and simply isn’t working as it should. Strong regulation is essential for public confidence.
 
“Ministers need to take the recommendations seriously to ensure the public can have confidence in the charities they increasingly rely on.”
