CHARITIES, ENGLAND AND WALES

Section 3A(1) of the Charities Act 1993 (“the 1993 Act”) imposes a general requirement that every charity in England and Wales must be registered in the register of charities which is maintained by the Charity Commission. Section 3A(2) of the 1993 Act makes provision for various charities to be excepted from this general requirement to register. The charities excepted from this requirement include those which are so excepted by regulations made by the Minister for the Cabinet Office. Section 3A(4)(b) of the 1993 Act requires the Minister to make regulations to ensure that certain charities are excepted from this requirement.
