§ Mr. Watkinsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress has been made by the Charity Commissioners in establishing local indexes of charities for public inspection under Section 10 of the Charities Act, 1960.
§ Sir F. SoskiceI understand from the Charity Commissioners that they have now supplied copies of the relevant entries in the Central Register of Charities to all county and county borough councils in England and Wales, other than those in London and Middlesex, and the large number of county district councils which have undertaken to maintain the local indexes. Persons wishing to consult the local indexes should inquire at county council offices or town halls. Indexes will not be distributed to the Greater London boroughs until after 1st April; in the meantime, entries may be inspected at the Central Register department of the Charity Commission.
