Based on my research, I put it to both witnesses that the trust clearly got special treatment here. Both bodies had the potential to exercise further powers and chose not to. Now, we are in a position where we are moving forward and we are hopeful. I completely understand where the witnesses are coming from with that hope and optimism. That is fine but the CRA has deregistered 38 charities because they filed late accounts. Why is this trust still a registered charity?
