Proceeding contribution from Lord Phillips of Sudbury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Charities Bill [HL].
Charities Bill [HL]
Before the Minister sits down, how does he answer what seemed to me to be the main point made by the noble Lord, Lord Swinfen: that the present arrangements for the Parliamentary Ombudsman are simply ineffectual, because the Parliamentary Ombudsman will not act until High Court remedies have been exhausted? In reality, remedies in the High Court against the Charity Commission, by their very nature let alone the fact that we are dealing with charities, are not pursued.
