Charities Bill 2007
Public bill · Government · Presented
The Charities Bill 2007 would create a Charities Regulatory Authority and a public register, requiring charities to register, keep proper accounts and submit annual reports. It would give the Authority powers to investigate suspected wrongdoing, protect charitable assets and share information with law-enforcement bodies, while allowing appeals to an independent tribunal. The Bill would also update fundraising rules, including permits for direct-debit and other non-cash collections, and replace the existing Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests.
