Charities Bill [HL]

My Lords, I want to ask the Minister one question about Amendment No. 62. I came across this today; I am sorry that Iwas not able to give him prior warning. Amendment No. 62 inserts a new clause before Clause 72, presumably after Clause 71. The new clause is entitled, ““Disclosure of information to and by Northern Ireland regulator””. Clauses 70 and 71 are in Chapter 3 of Part 3, entitled, ““Financial assistance””. Clause 70 is headed, ““Power of Secretary of State to give financial assistance to charitable, benevolent or philanthropic institutions””, and Clause 71 is the same for Wales, through the National Assembly. For those of us who are trying to keep the Bill clear, systematic and comprehensible—something that the noble Lord, Lord McKenzie of Luton, and I have debated at some length on the Companies Bill—this seems a strange place to have this provision. When we come to Amendment No. 130, we will be inserting into one of the schedules sections entitled ““Disclosure of information to Commission””, ““Disclosure of information by Commission””, and ““Disclosure to and by principal regulators of exempt charities””. Why have we stuck the Northern Ireland provision into the middle of the Bill, when it surely would fit better when we are dealing with issues of disclosure of information as provided for in Amendment No. 130? This is not going to shake the charity world, but these small idiosyncrasies make the job of a charity trustee more difficult and more complex. An explanation would be helpful.
