Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Charities Bill.
Charities Bill
I am surprised that the fiscal regime for charities is not addressed in the Bill and I hope that we will be able to take account of that in consideration of the Bill. In particular, the question of whether VAT can be recovered is crucial in determining whether charities in the social and health care area are effective in spending their money. Is that an issue that the redefinition of charities will help to address? Discussions with the Treasury just seem to lead to even greater opacity.
