Executive pay is a matter for a charity\u2019s trustees to determine, acting in the best interests of their charity. The Government has not undertaken a specific review but notes a 2014 review of executive pay by The National Council for Voluntary Organisations which found that senior executives in charities were on average paid substantially less than for similar roles in the public or private sectors.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Charity Commission regulates charities in England and Wales and is an independent, non-ministerial department. The Charity Commission has recently consulted on whether charities should report further on executive pay in their annual return, and if this information should be published for the public to view on the Charity Commission\u2019s charity search tool. The Charity Commission is analysing consultation feedback and will set out next steps in due course.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government and Charity Commission have regular meetings to discuss the legal and regulatory framework for charities.<\/p>

The United Kingdom has encouraged fellow UN Security Council members to consider carefully what more the Council can do to ensure that the International Criminal Court (ICC) receives the necessary support, which would include action on Court referrals to it, and will continue to do so. The United Kingdom raised the importance of cooperation with the ICC on 11 December at the Assembly of States Parties and on 12 December at the UN Security Council. We called on all States Parties to the ICC to cooperate with the Court and to consult the Court if they feel that they are unable to co-operate with it for any reason. The United Kingdom will continue to raise our concerns with the non-cooperating governments, including through the European Union.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-12-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-12-21T15:41:53.013Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-12-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Oman al-Bashir"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they intend to takeĀ in response to the International Criminal Court's proposal to refer Jordan to the UN Security Council for its failure to arrest Sudan's indicted President Omar al-Bashir when he attended an Arab League summit in Jordan in March.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/738", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Alton of Liverpool"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Alton of Liverpool"} ], "uin" : "HL4068"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 4, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
