Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Assistance to Communities.
Assistance to Communities
May I make a small suggestion? There was a time when the friendly societies and mutuals had a similar problem, which resulted from their 19th- century origins. The Friendly Societies Acts and the Companies Acts then dealt with the various circumstances that arose. If we were to have a voluntary societies Act or a third sector Act, that could, without increasing bureaucratisation, simply provide a template against which most others could be judged. That could be a way to help make things simpler and more transparent.
