§ Derek TwiggTo ask the Prime Minister what additional projects are planned for the Performance and Innovation Unit; and if he will make a statement. [2335]
§ The Prime MinisterI have asked the Performance and Innovation Unit to undertake a further project to review the legal and regulatory framework for charities and the wider voluntary and community sector and bring forward proposals for reform.
The Government are committed to working in partnership with charities and the voluntary sector to strengthen their contribution to the health and dynamism of the society and the economy. The project will consider how the regulatory and legal framework could better enable existing organisations to thrive and grow; encourage the development of new types of organisations where needed; and ensure public confidence.
The PIU will report in the winter. The sponsor Minister will be Baroness Morgan.
