§ Mr. Charles Morrisonasked the Attorney-General what action he is now taking to expedite a decision by the Charity Commissioners in their consideration of the charitable status of the Unification Church.
§ The Attorney-GeneralI have twice written to the Charity Commissioners asking them to hold an inquiry under section 6 of the Charities Act 1960 into the affairs of the two charitable trusts associated with the Unification Church. They have twice declined to hold such an inquiry. Without prejudice to any further action I might take in that connection, I have today written to the Charity Commissioners calling on them to remove the two trusts from the register of charities.
