Proceeding contribution from Lord Joffe (Crossbench) 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 support the amendment. The very essence of the charitable sector is innovation and creativity—doing things that governments cannot do. The normal tendency for regulatory authorities is to become very risk-averse, as the noble Lord, Lord Hodgson, pointed out. It is important that in this case the regulatory authorities should take the view that innovation in charity should be encouraged.
