Commission pleads with Treasury for access to its own reserves - Civil Society - Finance - News - providing news and in-depth coverage of charities, voluntary organisations and not-for-profits: "he Charity Commission is lobbying the Treasury to allow it to spend �1.5m in reserves that the Commission has accumulated in recent years.

The Commission says that access to these reserves would help to soften the impact of the budget cuts that are sure to come in the spending review, but to date the Treasury has refused to allow the regulator to use the money."
