Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town Excerpts

Tuesday 8th September 2015 Lords Chamber

[Lord Morris of Handsworth (Lab)]

My Lords—

[Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town (Lab)]

My Lords, I hope that the Government will also learn some lessons. The responsibility for the grants that the Government give is with the Government. We understand that the Ministers overruled the advice that they had from civil servants and continued to give grants. We suggest that the National Audit Office should do a wider review. We should look not just at the official receiver and the Charity Commission but at the role of government Ministers.
