Charities: Standards

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of standards of corporate governance in charities in England and Wales.

Answer

Government recognises that high quality governance is central to an effective and sustainable voluntary sector.

This will help in identifying strengths as well as areas for improvement. The findings of this research will be published shortly.
