HC Deb 16 June 2003 vol 407 cc41-2W
Bob Spink

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will make it her policy to allow the Community Fund to support organisations that are neither registered charities nor essentially philanthropic. [119484]

Mr. Caborn

Under existing legislation, the Community Fund is able to support organisations which are registered charities, and those which are deemed to be charitable, philanthropic and benevolent. The Government have no plans to amend the Community Fund's current remit.
