Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 18 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

As this is the Committee stage, perhaps I may put a question that I had intended to ask when I spoke before. I apologise for that. Clause 199 is about inspection and later we come to a number of clauses concerning inquiries. There are specific requirements relating to charities where the scope of their work could be the subject of an inquiry and notification has to be given to the Charity Commission. I imagine that the regulator would be in touch with the Charity Commission on anything other than a very routine inspection, but can the noble Baroness explain what the relationship might be with charities at the start the regulator’s powers—that is, in the foothills of an inspection, rather than at the peaks of an inquiry?
