asked Her Majesty's Government:

What control the Charity Commission exercises on the conduct and activities of interim managers, including receivers and managers, who the commission appoints to stand in for trustees of a charity; and [HL3038]

Whether they are aware of any cases, including current cases, where interim managers appointed by chairmen to stand in for trustees have committed charity funds up to (a) £100,000; (b) £500,000; (c) £1,000,000; (d) £2,000,000; and (e) over £2,000,000; and, if so, whether they will provide details and the date of each case; and [HL3039]

Whether they are aware of any cases where interim managers appointed to stand in for the trustees of a charity have acted as liquidators or in another professional role for a trading company associated with that charity; whether charity funds were used to reward interim managers for two or more such roles; and, if so, whether they will provide details and the date of each case. [HL3040]

These Questions are a matter for the Charity Commission as the independent regulator of charities in England and Wales. The commission's chief executive will write to you and a copy of his response will be placed in the Library.
