§ Sir John WheelerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to bring into effect the remaining provisions of the Charities Act 1992.
§ Mr. JackIt is our intention to bring the 1992 Act fully into force at the earliest opportunity—consistent with effective preparation and consultations. I therefore intend to bring the further provisions into effect by the following dates:
- By the end of 1993: further fees regulations;
- by the end of March 1994: provisions on professional fund-raising (Part II of the Act);
533 - by the end of June 1994: accounting provisions (contained in Part I of the Act);
- by the end of 1994: public charitable collections (Part III of the Act).
Where possible we will, however, seek to bring the provisions into effect earlier than the dates given.
