Compensation (Exemptions) Order 2006

My Lords, I have two questions for the Minister. The first is slightly longer and may give her the chance to provide an answer by the end of the debate. It was asked by my honourable friend Mr Simon Hughes in another place and is about exemptions. He asked: "““What about organisations such as provident societies or mutual societies, in which members have a self-help set of activities?””.—[Official Report, Commons First Delegated Legislation Committee, 22/1/07; col. 6.]" He asked if they would have to get a specific exemption or have a class exemption, but the Minister was not able on 22 January to answer him in another place. Is the Minister in this House able to update us? The second question is: how would an individual who felt the exempt body had behaved badly have their complaint dealt with? Other than that, we support the order.
