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


Charities Bill

My right hon. Friend understands well how Ministers approach such matters. There are frequently so many different legal interpretations, and we do not want charities to become too engaged in legal cases. Another aspect of the Bill makes it easier for matters to be sorted out through tribunals. They should be sorted out on a case-by-case basis and I believe that the Charity Commission will listen carefully to what we say. I trust that it will be guided by what Parliament says.
