Proceeding contribution from Lord Swinfen (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Charities Bill [HL].


Charities Bill [HL]

My Lords, I would briefly like to support the amendment moved by my noble friend Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbots. Lines 41 and 42 of page 77 bring a non-governmental body directly under the political control of the government of the day. That is wrong and I strongly support what my noble friend said.
