[edit] Scotland?

I wonder if this is England and Wales law. Need to do some research as I'm not sure which body charities in Scotland register with - it might just be the Inland Revenue - if it is then there will be no distinction in Scotland. Secretlondon 00:45, Dec 13, 2003 (UTC)

IPSes do exist in Scots law but might be different. Charities work oddly there, I was unable to find a Scots equivilant to the Charity Commission, it looks like its done either on an informal basis or by councils or somesuch. There is ongoing discussions and plans to basically import England and Wales law in terms of registration. THe 'four heads of charity' and so on are the same, just not the technical details.

[edit] Merge proposal

Clearly, this article should not have been created after Industrial and provident society already existed. Now that there are two, the capitalised version of the title appears preferable, as both articles capitalise the words in the first line.

I'm hoping another editor who has up to date knowledge of the subject will be willing to merge the pages shortly. Fayenatic london (talk) 13:49, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

It seems easy enough to combine them though - surely the merge isn't controversial Jddphd 04:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
