To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will implement part II of the Charities Act 1992 to tackle fraudulent charity fund-raisers.

As indicated in the answer to a question from my right hon. Friend the Member for Westminster, North (Sir J. Wheeler) on 23 March, column 532, I intend to implement part II—control of fund-raising —by the end of March 1994. To that end I have recently issued a document on part II which includes draft regulations and guidance; a copy is being placed in the Library of the House.
