answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2017 answer text <p>Since its launch in July 2016, the Fundraising Regulator has taken ownership of the Code of Fundraising Practice and is consulting on strengthening it. The regulator is handling public complaints about poor fundraising practices. Proposals for the Fundraising Preference Service, to help people opt out of receiving charity fundraising communications, have been developed and the new service is due to start in summer 2017.</p><p>Most large fundraising charities have already shown their commitment to best practice by supporting the Fundraising Regulator and paying its levy. The Government has reserve powers to intervene if the level of support for the Fundraising Regulator from the charity sector is insufficient.</p> answering member constituency Reading East answering member printed Mr Rob Wilson question first answered 30/03/2017 16:57:51 answering member 1556 label Biography information for Mr Rob Wilson
