Proceeding contribution from Ed Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Bogus Charity Collections.


Bogus Charity Collections

There are definitely attempts to do that, but it can be hard to track down individuals even in those circumstances. However, the point is well made. We plan to bring together all the different agencies that work on the issue—the ASA, trading standards, the Association of Chief Police Officers, which obviously has a role, the Office of Fair Trading and charity sector representatives—to investigate whether there are better ways to tackle the problem raised by the hon. Lady and the one to which my hon. Friend the Member for Dundee, West (Mr. McGovern) so eloquently drew attention in an intervention.
