Schedule 7
Charities Bill [Lords]
4:00 pm
Peter Bottomley (Worthing West, Conservative)
I suspect that my hon. Friend the Member for Isle of Wight (Mr. Turner) is right to have understood whatever was said outside the Committee.
I want to raise an issue about the Charity Commission. Let us suppose that an incorporated charity had trustees with, say, two members and those members died. Would it be open to the Charity Commission to appoint people to be members so that the charity could continue or would the charity be dissolved? Again, the Minister might want to respond to such a question by correspondence. Such a thing is not likely to happen, but we always need to know what would happen in those circumstances.
