§ Mr. Yeoasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what system exists for the registration of charities in Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. ButlerNone.
The Newark report of 1959, on which the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 1964 is based, decided not to make any proposals for registration.
The various aspects of charity law are kept under review and representations in favour of registration have been received from time to time. The Government have not, however, been persuaded that the introduction of a register would be of significant benefit.
