§ Sir G. BERRYasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he proposes to initiate legislation, applicable to Scotland, to provide for the regulation of such charities as make an appeal for public support on the lines of the Collecting Charities (Regulation) Bill now before Parliament, and which is applicable to England and Wales only?
Mr. ADAMSONI am considering the question of initiating legislation for Scotland on the lines of the Collecting Charities (Regulation) Bill, relating to England and Wales, now before Parliament, but in the present state of Parliamentary business there would, I fear, be little prospect of finding time this Session for any such legislation.
