YOUR TELNO 11: BRITISH UNDERTAKING, SALVATION ARMY AND SAVE THE CHILDREN FUND
1 -
WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY IN REPLYING.
AS
2. THE OPINION OF OUR LEGAL ADVISER IN BRIEF IS THAT IT APPEARS THAT THE SAVE THE CHILDREN FUND DOES QUALIFY AS A BRITISH UNDERTAKING UNDER ARTICLE 7 OF THE SELECTION SCHEME ORDER. FOR THE SALVATION ARMY, IT SEEMS THAT THE GENERAL IS A CORPORATION SOLE, BUT THE ARMY ITSELF IS NOT/NOT INCORPORATED. THE ARMY WOULD THEREFORE APPEAR TO FALL OUTSIDE THE DEFINITION OF A BRITISH UNDERTAKING.
