Privileges Committee hears all sides over Charity Commission breaching Parliamentary privilege on Ombudsman’s sex abuse reports
A rare but virtually unreported public hearing by the Privileges Committee on Budget Day revealed a sharp divide between the Parliamentary Ombudsman and the Charity Commission over the role of charities in safeguarding children and adults who have been sexually abused.
The hearing was sparked off by Parliament unanimously reporting the Charity Commission to the Privileges Committee after Stephen Hoare, the chair of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, decided the Commission had breached Parliamentary privilege by wanting to delay publication of the reports until after a judicial hearing being called by the Commission. I did a report here .
The reports which Parliament compelled the Ombudsman to publish with final conclusions covering complaints of a recent adult sex abuse case – Miss A – and a historic child sexual abuse at a school -Mr U.
Mr U later contacted my blog and waived his anonymity to give me a detailed account of what had happened at a Roman Catholic school in Blackburn when it was run by a paedophile priest. The blog about this is here.
Saira Salimi, the Speaker’s CounselThe hearing began with a statement on the issue from Saira Salimi, the Speaker’s Counsel.
She told the hearing: “This is quite a difficult case, because it does raise difficult questions about
the relationship between parliamentary and legal accountability. There is a power conferring a discretion on a public authority to report in certain circumstances, and the report is made to Parliament. Although it looks at first glance like a function that might be reviewable by the courts, the interaction of parliamentary and legal accountability may mean that the decision is not justiciable.”She said that if the issue of privilege had not been the raised the Parliamentary Ombudsman would have been inhibited from laying the reports before Parliament.
She added:” this is an unusual case where Parliament and the courts are on the same territory at the
same time. That is not unprecedented but is unusual, because of the self denying ordinance that the House normally maintains in relation to matters before the courts under the sub judice resolution. It is my hope that our intervention in this case will assist both the courts and Parliament in carrying out their respective roles, which are constitutionally distinct ands equally important.”Karl Banister, Director of Operations, Legal and Clinical and Deputy Ombudsman at Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO). gave evidence.
He told MPs: “the[ charity] commission should have an independent person review Mr U’s case to consider whether the reasoning was adequately accounted for; consider whether the outcome would have been different; look for learning on how it engages in such cases;[and] look at
its risk guidance;” Similar recommendations were made in Miss A’s case.It is these recommendations that the Charity Commission is objecting to and says that the Ombudsman exceeded her powers and that such recommendations are unlawful.
He revealed considerable attempts were made at mediating the dispute.
“My assessment was that it was better not to provoke the commission to issue legal proceedings. It is obviously unattractive for two public bodies to be litigating. Were they to do so, they would likely get an injunction, and that would be an additional cost to the public purse.”
However in the end the Charity Commission decided to go ahead with a judicial review. it said:”“a declaration that the decision of 14 March 2025 is unlawful”—that is, our decision that it was
not compliant—“that the 14 March decision is quashed, that the defendant pay the claimant’s cost of the claim or any other order the court considers appropriate. That is what the judicial review sought.”The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee were informed and the Parliamentary Ombudsman stuck to its point that the Charity Commission had not fully complied with decision. It was then taken out of their hands and Mr Hoare, the committee chair, decided to raise the privilege issue and compel the reports to be published so the committee could consider them.
David Holdswoth, chief executive of the Charity CommissionThe Charity Commission brought a team of people to hearing headed by the chief executive David Holdsworth.
He told MPs:”The decision of the PHSO in its letter of 14 March—that we should reinvestigate criminal matters already investigated by the police, the CPS or the wider criminal justice system but deemed not able to proceed—has grave implications, in our view, for anyone involved in running a charity and, indeed, for wider citizens’ rights under the criminal justice process.
It is also our view that the ombudsman cannot retake regulatory decisions made by the commission to force a different conclusion, replacing our judgment with its own. It is for those reasons that we reluctantly sought to clarify matters through the courts.”It soon became clear – and this was reinforced during the national Child Sex Abuse inquiry – that the commission regards the Commission as primarily an administrative and registration authority not an investigatory authority.
It was also clear MPs and the Speaker’s Counsel thought that the matter could have been cleared up at a meeting of the PACAC committee without going to the courts.
But Felix Rechtman, head of litigation at the commission said:”: We are not saying that the PHSO decision is just inappropriate. We go further: we say it is unlawful, and matters of law are
reserved to the courts under our constitutional arrangement.”It is quite clear this issue is going to run and run. The courts have not given the Charity Commission a date for a judicial review hearing yet. The commission will first have to get permission to bring the judicial review and then have a hearing. The next stage will be the Privileges Committee report on whether the Commission has committed a contempt of the House.

Vigil #85
Vigil number 85 well attended
July 2025
Good turnout again for the weekly vigil with nearly 40 coming. Two of our supporters stood on the nearby traffic island and attracted a significant number of car ‘honks’ – we’ll do that again. The number of ‘recognitions’ that is people who appear to take note of the vigil, was over a 100 approximately.
Following the ban of Palestine Action by the government – a decision widely condemned and not just for the manner in which it was done – someone protesting about Palestine but not PA, was threatened with arrest by armed Kent Police. This seemed to be the very definition of heavy handed and a warning that once legislation introduced to curb and interdict violent terrorists bent on killing people, is used to threaten people engaged in peaceful protests, we should be very concerned. Authoritarianism creeps up on you slowly. A 100 people were arrested on Saturday 19th around the nation.
Shocking revelation about the Charity Commission
A shocking revelation came today that two UK based charities have sent millions of pounds to Israeli settlements with the blessing of the Charity Commission. A charity called UK Toremet has sent £5.7m to the West bank. They are the conduit for another charity the Kasner Charitable Trust founded to assist Zionist causes. The school in question being funded is based near a Palestinian settlement Khirbet Susiya, which was cleared out in 1996 by the IDF. One would have expected the Commission to know that many of the settlements are illegal under international law and that the level of violence against people living there is increasing. See Amnesty report (case study 3).
Baroness Warsi has said that sending money to this illegal settlement in occupied land was ‘appalling’. The Charity Commission says it can do nothing. The charity is legal and operating as it does is not a criminal offence it claims. Anyone who has had dealings with the Charity Commission in the UK knows that they exert considerable and exacting control on what charities do, whom they help, how the money is spent and a host of conditions concerning governance and safeguarding. To give a green light to millions going via a Zionist charity to a settlement violently acquired and existing on illegally acquired land seems to stretching their remit to breaking point.
Al Jazeera reports a further 116 killed today (19 July) seeking food. The death toll is around 58,000.

CW: Fake Charities
Here in #Britain a #Charity has specific legal status, and there is an official list, maintained by the #CharityCommission
But when a newspaper reports a story with a right-wing bias, giving a charity as a source, can we trust the story?
The newspaper is The Telegraph, not a good sign.
The alleged charity has a website but the last date on it is in January 2023, the date of the "survey" the story is based on. So it is hardly news. And it doesn't bother to publish its official registration number.
And the Charity Commission has no record of the charity.
Yes, I could have bungled my searches, but I have been involved in running a small charity. There are things you need to record and announce. We didn't have a website, but the paper magazine we published did give the official name and number of the charity.

The alleged charity has a website but the last date on it is in January 2023, the date of the "survey" the story is based on. So it is hardly news. And it doesn't bother to publish its official registration number.
And the Charity Commission has no record of the charity.
Yes, I could have bungled my searches, but I have been involved in running a small charity. There are things you need to record and announce. We didn't have a website, but the paper magazine we published did give the official name and number of the charity.

Left: the government action
Right: the intended resultSince 2019 this government has done exactly the same with the BBC, Ofcom and the EHRC: stuffed the management of "politically independent" state bodies with political loyalists, who then proceed to advance the government's "anti-woke" socially regressive ideology across the cultural sector whilst still pretending to be independent. And it's hardly been reported at all.
