HL Deb 06 May 1959 vol 216 cc204-5WA
LORD RUSSELL OF LIVERPOOL

asked Her Majesty's Government when they expect the Pritchard Committee on the Rating of Charities to make their report and whether on its receipt they will arrange for its publication without delay, together with their intentions regarding such recommendations as the Committee may make.

EARL BATHURST

My right honourable friend expects to receive the Report in a matter of weeks, and will arrange for its publication without delay; but, as strongly conflicting views have been put to the Committee, their recommendations may prove contentious and time may be needed before the Government are ready to announce their proposals.
