Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Charities Bill.

Charities Bill

I thank the hon. Gentleman for sharing with us the breadth of his expertise in the voluntary sector. He is right to draw attention to the principle that Warren Buffett has so generously espoused. Does he agree that it might even apply to much smaller charities, which are often registered by the Charity Commission but which might in some circumstances be better off as fundraisers for larger and better established charities, as they have fewer overheads and administrative burdens?
