Fundraising amendments to Charities Bill rejected by minister

Fundraising amendments to Charities Bill rejected by minister


The government rejected proposals that the Charity Commission should hold public hearings into fundraising and have direct oversight of the new Fundraising Regulator, during the report stage of the Charities Bill yesterday.

The report stage and third reading of the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Bill took place yesterday afternoon.
During the hearing opposition MPs brought but failed to pass amendments relating to official warnings, charitable assets and charity campaigning.
