I am advised that on receipt of complaints made to the Charities Regulator about Project Arts Centre property, it indicated to the trustees of the Project Arts Centre that the continued display of this mural would, in its opinion, constitute a political advertisement in respect of a matter for which the charity was not set up. As I said earlier, I assume the Charities Regulator would have taken the same approach had it been an anti-abortion or pro-life mural relating to the forthcoming referendum. I want to emphasise that the authority is independent in carrying out its functions and in making any decisions on taking enforcement matters with respect to these issues.

My personal point of view is that I do not find the mural in any way offensive, but I do not think it is murals or posters that will change people's minds or convince people on this issue.
