Proceeding contribution from Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Charities Bill [HL].


Charities Bill [HL]

I seek knowledge from the Minister. In the previous Committee, we discussed some issues put to us by Christopher McColl QC, an expert in charity law. He had been concerned about whether the Bill would have proper effect on charities established before it was passed. Do the amendments address that point, which was technical and difficult, or are we in a different area addressing a different issue? Reading it, it seems that there are Christopher McColl-type points. I would welcome his opinion as to whether I am on the right track or not.
