Proceeding contribution from Ed Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Charities Bill (HL).


Charities Bill [Lords]

I shall do so in a moment. The second reason is important and complex, and it is a reason of practice. The clause that we are debating merely establishes a heading of ““charitable purpose””. As with all charitable purposes—whether for animal welfare, education or anything else—a test must then be applied to show that there is public benefit by the commission and, ultimately, the court.
