Charities Bill [HL]

My Lords, any difficulty that might be experienced by a charity or a CIC or a CIO can be averted by providing charities in general with access to information about how this Act applies to other Acts. I have a feeling that at an earlier stage we discussed ways in which we could achieve some form of consolidation and I suspect that that may help as well. That is probably the answer to the noble Lord’s point. It is incumbent on us to ensure that cross-referencing is easily understood and, as a general issue, I shall ensure that that is properly raised with the officials. On Question, amendment agreed to.
