§ Mr. Roseasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the convictions against members of the Association of the Holy Spirit for the Unification of World Christianity, the current investigations by the Director of Public Prosecutions into its affairs and the nature and political connection of the organisation, he will prevent it remitting money abroad.
§ Mr. DellNo. Charitable organisations—and the Association is registered as a charity in the United Kingdom—are normally permitted under the Exchange Control Act 1947 to remit funds312W abroad provided they are being sent to a society, organisation or individual directly engaged in bona fide missionary, charitable, educational or cultural work. I have no evidence to suggest that remittances by this Association do not comply with these requirements.
