Fundraising licensing move to Charity Commission postponed
Third Sector magazine reports that implementation of part 3 of the Charities Act 2006, which would make the Charity Commission the lead regulator of public charitable collections in England and Wales, has been postponed indefinitely. Charities minister Nick Hurd has said it will not be discussed until next year.
Until part 3 is brought in local authorities have full licensing responsibility. See news item at http://www.thirdsector.co.uk/news/1022208/.
