HL Deb 17 February 2000 vol 609 c164WA
Lord Peston

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What plans they have to change the arrangements for the publication of the Charity Commission's Annual Report. [HL1130]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

My right honourable friend the Minister of State at the Home Office (Mr Boateng) has agreed that in future the Charity Commission's Annual Report should be prepared on a financial year basis, rather than a calendar year basis. As a transitional measure, the next Annual Report will cover the 15-month period, 1 January 1999–31 March 2000, and should be published this autumn.
