HC Deb 10 February 1983 vol 36 c418W
Mr. Les Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are his responsibilities in relation to charities.

Mr. Mellor

My right hon. Friend appoints the Charity Commissioners and presents their annual report to Parliament. He is generally responsible for legislation concerning charities, including giving effect in certain limited circumstances to schemes for the administration of charities, but has no responsibility for the affairs of individual charities.
