To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has any plans to introduce a Charity Law Bill and, if so, when.
Answer
After the report of the McFadden Commission was published on 9 May, we invited comments on the recommendations. This consultation will end on 30 September. In the meantime, the Performance and Innovation Unit (PIU) of the Cabinet Office has announced a review of the voluntary sector at a UK level. This may have relevance for Scotland. The consultation responses will therefore be considered alongside any recommendations from the PIU. We aim to publish a comprehensive response to the McFadden report as soon as possible thereafter. Any Bill that may follow this will have to take its place alongside other competing priorities in the legislative programme.
