Mr. Latham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress he is making with the Government's review of charity law, following the reports of the National Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee.

Mr. John Patten

The Government's proposals for the reform of charity law are set out in the White Paper "Charities: A framework for the Future" which was presented to Parliament on 16 May 1989. The Government hope to introduce legislation to give effect to these proposals within the lifetime of this Parliament.
