in many ways the question should be can government set up charities or should they be able to. Government goes around giving lots of advice about setting up Charities
https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/m...ganisation
but nowhere does it seem to say that government will set them up and run them for the people.
My understanding is that it will require legislation to free the Properties in Care from their current legal status to that of being run by a charity. The government does not have to set up the charity in question. That will be a matter for the trustees of the charity and the Charity Commissioners...,
....as to the general thrust of Uo1's arguement, she is clearly wrong. I won't go into the history of the Museum of London other than to say that the 65 and 86 Acts were largely about establishing, originally the tripartite and latterly dual funding responsibility for the Museum; creating originally the merger of the Kensington and Guildhall museums and their collections and defining the function and purpose of the new Museum. No different to the acts setting up the British Museum, National Gallery, IWM etc etc. I think anyone seeking some kind of conspiracy behind a perfectly sensible legal measure is clearly delusional.....
