Point of Order

Lindsay Hoyle Excerpts

Thursday 12th July 2012 Commons Chamber

[Robert Halfon (Harlow) (Con)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. May I clarify for my right hon. Friend the Leader of the House my question during business questions? The organisation that I spoke about, the trust that owned the hall, did have charitable status, which the Charity Commission revoked on the ground that the organisation had no public benefit and, therefore, no right to be classed as a charity. I urge my right hon. Friend to look again at the issue. I am happy to write to him with the details, because I do think that it is an unfair case of bias against that organisation.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

We cannot carry on the debate, but I am sure that Government Front Benchers have heard that point, and that correspondence can be sent accordingly.
