Proceeding contribution from Earl of Caithness (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Charities Bill [HL].

Charities Bill [HL]

My Lords, with respect, and before the Minister sits down, if he is trying to be helpful, it would be much better not to include anything. If one lives in the Welsh Marches—which I do not—and one moves one’s principal office 10 miles across the border—which would be quite likely for a charity in some circumstances—one would have to go to the trouble of rewriting a constitution. If the Government are seriously trying to help charities, it would be much better not to include this measure in the Bill at all. Will the noble Lord consider that point rather than answering it now?
