No additional checks were made because the MHF is a registered charity under the auspices of the Charity Commission and subject to its rules and regulations.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 01/07/2014 16:58:11 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
