Health and Social Care Bill

I thank the Minister for that thoughtful and considered answer. I am glad that she confirmed that my knowledge is still up-to-date. Trustees of an unincorporated association are jointly and severally liable for offences if they behave in a way that is imprudent or knowingly unlawful. It is precisely because trustees need to be clear about their responsibilities that it is important to state in legislation that they have that responsibility whether or not they are incorporated. The standard of judgment may be the same, but they retain that responsibility. I see the point that the Minister is making: where an officer is found to be acting in contravention of the organisation's policy, they too can be sued, but her answer confused rather than clarified the position of unincorporated associations. However, I realise that this is a minority sport in the Committee. I am happy to take the issue away; perhaps we can clarify it in correspondence later. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 112 not moved.] Clauses 88 and 89 agreed to. Clause 90 [Electronic communications]: [Amendment No. 113 not moved.] Clauses 90 agreed to. Clause 91 agreed to. Schedule 5 [Further amendments relating to Part 1]:
