Clause 70
Charities Bill [Lords]
1:15 pm
Peter Bottomley (Worthing West, Conservative)
May I ask the Minister to help the Committee on a couple of points? Subsection (6) says that the Secretary of State
“may make arrangements for...assistance under subsection (1) to be given”—
that is, financial assistance—or he may delegate the matter. Could the hon. Gentleman give the Committee one or two illustrative examples of hypothetical or actual cases in which the Secretary of State might want that power?
Subsection (10)(b) mentions
“an institution (other than a charity) which is established for charitable, benevolent or philanthropic purposes.”
I am not too concerned about the benevolent or philanthropic purposes, but will the Minister give an illustrative example of something that is not a charity that is established for charitable purposes?
