§ Mr. Stuart Hollandasked the Attorney-General whether he will request the Charity Commissioners to conduct an inquiry under section 6 of the Charities Act 1960 into the allegations of maladministration and conflict of professional and private interests concerning the St. Olave's, St. Thomas's and St. John's United Charities.
§ The Attorney-GeneralI understand that the trustees of the St. Olave's, St. Thomas's and St. John's United Charities are themselves investigating, through their auditors, certain allegations concerning the activities of one of the charity's officers. They will report to the charity commissioners the result of those inquiries and any action they propose to take in consequence. In these circumstances I do not think there are at present sufficient grounds to request the charity commissioners to conduct a formal inquiry under section 6 of the Charity Act 1960.
