To ask His Majesty's Government when they expect to announce the appointment of a creative freelance champion, as proposed in their Creative Industries sector plan.
We committed in the Creative Industries Sector Plan to appoint a Freelance Champion, who will advocate for the creative sector’s freelancers within government and be a member of the Creative Industries Council. We will announce the appointment very soon.
Our priority has been that we take the time to get the role and appointment of the Freelance Champion right. As this is a new role, we have spent time working closely with the sector to develop the role’s remit, identify the priorities within that, and understand how the roleholder will engage with the sector once in post. We are working through the details and will be able to share more once the appointment has been announced.

The Charity Commission has apologised unreservedly to Parliament in response to the House of Commons Committee for Privileges report, and has accepted the report in full. The Commission is considering wider lessons to be learnt from the Committee's report, and it has also commissioned a judge-led independent review into its handling of the two cases.
This work is supported by additional resources for the Commission allocated in the recent Spending Review. Recognising the growing range of threats facing charities and the corresponding demands upon the Commission, the Government is also working with the Commission to expand its regulatory powers, and has full confidence in the current leadership of the Commission to deliver this. Charity Commission board appointments are made by the Secretary of the State in accordance with the Governance Code for Public Appointments.
