Proceeding contribution from Alun Michael (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Charities Bill.

Charities Bill

I welcome my right hon. Friend’s reference to the engagement of Parliament in the process. She is wise to resist too tight a definition but there is a great deal of knowledge in the House, and if the Charity Commission, in reaching its conclusions—as it must as an independent body—listens to Members of Parliament, that is infinitely preferable to a tight hand of legislation or Government. I encourage her to proceed in that way.
