Lord Cocks of Hartcliffe

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they consider that the activities of the Scarman Trust are compatible with its status as a registered charity, especially in relation to the report The Untouchable: Power and Accountability in the Quango State.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of National Heritage (Lord Inglewood)

Following the concerns which the noble Lord expressed in this House on 3rd July, the Charity Commission is looking into the activities of the Scarman Trust. It is taking into account the publication to which the noble Lord refers.
