HC Deb 30 April 1919 vol 115 c154
37. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Prime Minister whether, as the registration of war charities gave satisfaction and security to the public by informing them which werebonâ fidefunds or societies, he will consider as to compelling all charitable funds which depend on appeals to the public to be registered in the future in like manner to those of war charities?

Mr. SHORTT

I will consider the question, but legislation would be required to give effect to the hon. Member's proposal.
