Proceeding contribution from Nick Hurd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Assistance to Communities.


Assistance to Communities

I am more than happy to place on record my profound belief in the value of the voluntary sector's advocacy role. I took a private Member's Bill through Parliament almost entirely because it had the support of a national network of organisations driven by exactly the same energy and vigour that the hon. Gentleman mentioned. I am a strong believer in the advocacy role of charities and the sector. We propose no change to the regulation in that context.
