From Mr John Stoker Sir: James King (Watch out, there's a char- ity about', 28 October) queries the grounds for the decision of the Charity Commission that the Church of Scientology is not a reli- gion for the purposes of charity law. These grounds are a matter of record and, far from being unwilling to justify them, we placed them more than a year ago on our website at www.charity-commission.gov.uk. John Stoker
