Proceeding contribution from Lord Phillips of Sudbury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 5 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Charities Bill [HL].


Charities Bill [HL]

The noble Lord cited my name on Re: Resch., and he is quite right that it is a leading Privy Council case, but it is wonderfully obscure. He may remember that, during the debates on the 2006 Act, I moved an amendment to try to give the Charity Commission a little help in giving guidance and making judgments on public benefit. In many ways, it is a pity that we left it nude and relying on a paucity of very unsatisfactory cases.
