Memorandum from Brigadier Sir Miles Hunt-Davis,
KCVO, CBE (DCH 54)
I have seen the Independent Services Agency's
written evidence submitted for consideration by the Parliamentary
Joint Committee.
I have been a trustee of a number of service
charities and also held command of a Gurkha Battalion and two
other appointments at Brigadier level where Non Public Funds are
an important fact of life.
In the light of my own experience, I wish to
state that the submission by the Independent Services Agency has
my total support and I recommend it to you. It is essential in
my view to recognise that the Armed Forces have a unique position
in this matter which should be recognised in the new Charities
Bill.
