Would the liberal party remove the current charity commission right, to examine complaints against charities in secret ? and to put in its place elected grass root users of services as a panel instead, who would be allowed to publish findings for public scrutiny, and identify charities that are being complained about ? The secrecy is undermining confidence in a fair system. Two: Would the liberal party consider removing the specialist minister for charities and replace them with a panel of users and carers instead, to determine if a charity, is adhering to or abusing its remit, given a number are undermining private endeavour, via charitable tax concessions whilst still hiring corporate professionals ? Should not grass root services be given the same tax exemptions ? To be part of everything we ALL need the same rights and power, users of charitable services do not have ANY rights at present to challenge the way funding is given, or, how it is used. Consultation is at an all time low, and the power to challenge non-extant. Mervyn James (Newport, Wales) Show less »
