Sep 18 – Bossano Motion In Support Of Calpe House
The Minister for Economic Development, Telecommunications and the GSB, Joe Bossano, intends to move a motion at the next meeting of Parliament in support of the Calpe House charity.
The text of the motion is as follows:
“THIS HOUSE:
NOTES that Calpe House is an independent charity which has been in existence since 1989 and that there has never been any involvement by any Government in the affairs of the charity.
THIS HOUSE further notes and rejects the reports and comments put in the public domain which appear to question the honesty and integrity of the trustees and suggests that the donations made to the charity by the public are unaccounted for.
THE HOUSE therefore declares its full support for and confidence in the honesty and integrity of the trustees and directors of the institutions set up by the Charity.
THE HOUSE furthermore wishes to express its appreciation to those involved in the work of Calpe House for the many hours of unpaid work they have given and continue to give to the institution.
THE HOUSE in addition fully supports the decision to invest in new premises in order to provide improved facilities and assist a greater number of sponsored patients when in London for medical treatment.”
