Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Charities Bill [HL].


Charities Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 1:"Page 3, line 27, at end insert—" ““(   )   In determining whether an independent school meets the public benefit test under this section, the Charity Commission shall have regard to any directions or guidance issued by the Secretary of State.”” The noble Lord said: In moving Amendment No. 1, I shall speak also to Amendment No. 6, which stands in my name. The amendments cover what in my view is the most controversial part of the Bill—that is to say, the charitable status of fee-paying schools.
