There is no presumption that a particular charitable purpose is for the public benefit.</p><p>The Charity Commission, as the independent regulator of charities in England and Wales, is responsible for assessing if an institution meets the legal test for charitable status.</p><p>There are no plans to change the legal test for charitable status which applies to Churches and other faith-based organisations who express and practise historic orthodox beliefs on the doctrine of marriage.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 03/05/2019 14:08:22 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
