HC Deb 06 December 1966 vol 737 c273W
89. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science which sports organisations are classed as charities; and what criteria are applied in considering additional applications by sports organisations for consideration as charities.

Mr. Denis Howell

Sports organisations as such are not charitable in law but are classed as recreational charities if they satisfy the conditions prescribed by Section 1 of the Recreational Charities Act, 1958.
