Etherington wants report published quickly.
Stuart Etherington, Chief Executive 
of the National Council of Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), today called on the Government
to stop delaying the Performance and Innovation Unit’s (PIU) report into charities
and move quickly to consult on the introduction of a public benefit test for all
charities.

The report was originally due for publication in February. Etherington said that
he was “extremely concerned that this report… is being sidelined by the Government.”
He added: “There is clear support within the charity sector and from the public 
for the introduction of a public benefit test for new and existing charities. The
sooner we consult on what it involves the better.”
