Proceeding contribution from Alun Michael (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Assistance to Communities.
Assistance to Communities
Surely, it is not that difficult. If an organisation has clear charitable objects, any campaigning must be clearly within and consistent with those objects. To constrain that would be wrong. A prime example is the Alzheimer's Society or an organisation dealing with a particular disability. Such organisations provide services to people who cannot have a voice of their own. Surely, we must be protective of organisations that seek to represent the interests of those who are clearly within their charitable objects.
