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

Charities Bill [HL]

My Lords, I see the point of Amendment No. 28, but it is quite open-ended, allowing matters to be determined without a hearing in specified circumstances. Will it be open to the Government to specify, within the rules, what the specified circumstances are without limit? These are difficult issues to take on the hoof, but will the Minister also give a reassurance that the rules that may be made in that regard will be common-sensical, as I would call them, and not take advantage of the breadth of the allowance?
