reports by the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs
Committee (“PACAC”): on 1 February 2016 the PACAC published its
report entitled: “The Collapse of Kids Company: lessons for charity
trustees, professional firms, the Charity Commission and Whitehall” and
on 25 January 2016 the PACAC published its report entitled “The 2015

common to both reports.”
