Scheme of Union of the United Reformed Church

Thank you for your email to the Charity Commission.

We aim to give you a full and clear response within fifteen working days
from receipt of your email. We will ensure that our response is both
accurate and appropriate.

This is the same service standard we apply to letters and faxes but
Charity Commission Direct will usually respond to general email enquiries
within five working days where there is no need for referral to one of our
specialist operational teams.

If we cannot give you a full response within fifteen days, we will contact
you and let you know the reasons why this is not possible and indicate
when we expect to be in a position to give you a full response. We will
also let you have the name and contact number of the person dealing with
your query.

Dear Dr Tai,

Thank you for your email request of 21st August.

There is no record of the Charity Commission requesting sight of the
document you refer to within the last 24 months. On that basis I cannot
answer your questions 2 and 3.

Yours sincerely

Tony Robinson

Dear Dr Tai

I write further to your Freedom of Information request as colleagues
realised I might have more information to add.

The Charity Commission does not regulate the United Reformed Church. It
does have a role in respect of any charitable assets that the church
holds.

In connection with the forthcoming requirement for charities connected
with the URC that have an income over £100,000 needing to register from
January 2009 onwards we have had some discussions with the church. We have
been signposted to the latest version of the Scheme of Union on the URC
web-site in connection with discussions about the identity of the charity
trustees of various assets.

So, whilst it is correct to say we have not specifically requested sight
of the document we are aware of its existence, the gist of its contents as
far as the identity of charity trustees is concerned, and of the location
of the latest version of it.

Yours sincerely
J Cox
Registration Unit
