G20

Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 November 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G20.

My hon. Friend is absolutely right to raise that matter. There is a problem with some organisations using their charitable status to support extremism or the extremist narrative. There are two things we need to do here, which we have been looking at through the extremist taskforce: one is to help organisations that might need to take on lawyers or legal advice to throw extremists out of their organisations; and the second is to ensure that the Charity Commission has the resources and the teeth that it needs, including possibly new legal powers, to take action, too.
