Proceeding contribution from Lord Best (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Charities Bill [HL].


Charities Bill [HL]

My Lords, is it not the case that the advancement of health is already in the list of purposes which fall within the meaning of charitable purpose, making it superfluous to insert it in the context of sport? The advancement of health is there in its own right in Clause 2(2)d, so it would seem tautological to include it twice.
