HC Deb 27 April 1967 vol 745 c322W
Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department under what circumstances he is prepared to review the legal meaning of a charity as defined in the Charities Act, 1960.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

The matter would be considered for review if there were evidence that difficulty arose out of the definition of charity in the Charities Act, 1960 or as a result of the decision, which was accepted by all parties when the Act was before Parliament, not to attempt a precise statutory definition of charitable purposes.
