Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 12 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Charities Bill [HL].

Charities Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 38:"Page 20, line 27, leave out ““so done”” and insert ““which has been done under the authority of such an order””" The noble Lord said: In moving Amendment No. 38, I speak also to Amendment No. 40, in the name of my noble friend Lady Scotland of Asthal. The amendments have no legal effect and are there purely to improve the clarity of the drafting. The change has been suggested to us by the parliamentary draftsmen. I cannot give more explanation than that for the amendment—but it is good news that we are improving clarity. I beg to move.
