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

Charities Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 26: Page 8, line 27, leave out ““those”” and insert ““any such”” The noble Lord said: My Lords, this is a minor drafting amendment suggested by parliamentary draftsmen. Our intention is that where rules made by the Lord Chancellor require a person to take particular steps before appealing or applying to the tribunal, the rules may also specify the period within which any steps are to be taken. We thought the current wording might be read as requiring a period to be specified, rather than allowing a period to be specified. This amendment simply puts that issue beyond doubt. A period can be, but need not be, specified. I beg to move. On Question, amendment agreed to.
