Proceeding contribution from Lord Brooke of Sutton Mandeville (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]

If the amendment moved by the noble Lord, Lord Wedderburn, had included a substitution of the word ““review”” for ““revise””, I would have found it tolerable. However, on the principle of, ““if it ain’t broke don’t fix it””, it would be perverse for us to insist that the Charity Commission from time to time ““must”” revise its guidance if the guidance that it inherited is perfectly satisfactory.
