§ Mr. Desmond Swayne (New Forest, West)It is my privilege to present to the House the petition of my constituent, Mrs. Janet Oddy, and others.
The petition declares that Lorraine Drake founded the Protection of Animal Life Society and committed all her energies and dedication to this charity for 15 years.
The petition states:
The Charity Commission's actions in respect of the charity have caused substantial harm and damage to the charity's beneficiaries.The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons initiates an investigation into the conduct of the Charity Commission in its dealings with the charity to be carried out by an independent organisation, reporting to the honourable House.The Petitioners also request that the House appoints an independent review body to whom charity trustees seeking to protect their charity's beneficiaries, assets and interests can refer.And the Petitioners remain, etc.
§ To lie upon the Table.
