Lord Myners Excerpts

Tuesday 25th January 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Howarth of Newport]

My Lords—

[Lord Myners]

My Lords, what action have the Government taken to encourage philanthropy?

[Baroness Rawlings]

The Government are well aware of the interest of the noble Lord, Lord Myners, in philanthropy, and the Secretary of State is aware of its importance in running alongside what the Government are doing. We have several projects and some meetings set up. The noble Lord will see these projects over the next couple of months which I trust will be to his liking.
