That the Second Reading Committee do consider the Perpetuities and Accumulations Bill [HL].

I thank all noble Lords who have spoken in the debate. I do not expect that this Second Reading Committee will make the headlines tonight or tomorrow—actually, I hope it does not—but perhaps it will help to make the law simpler and help to keep our trust industry competitive with...

I thank the Minister very much for explaining a complex, technical Bill and for the new procedure under which we are to operate, in which we are, in racing terms, the first out of the traps. I begin by declaring interests—charitable interests which are on the Register. Perhaps in the...

Every Bill that comes before your Lordships’ House is in some way special, but the Perpetuities and Accumulations Bill is particularly so for three reasons. First, it will reform the long-standing rule of English and Welsh trust and property law known as the rule against perpetuities and the rule against...

If we needed any reminder about the historic nature of this Second Reading, it could not have been brought home to us more forcefully than the intervention of the noble and learned Lord, Lord Archer. It is difficult to convince oneself that it is now more than 35 years since...

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. There has been no legislation on this since 1964, so I welcome the consensus that appears to lie behind the Bill. It is important to listen to the Chancery Bar, because it will be dealing with this. It is also a happy occasion to see...

I crave the indulgence of the Committee to say a few words in the gap. I did not put my name down to speak at Second Reading for the good reason that, as the prospective chairman of the committee that will be hearing evidence in due course, it seemed better...

I agree with the Minister that the proceedings we have started today are important, and I say that for the same reasons that he did. This is the first Bill dealt with under the new procedure for Law Commission Bills. It is a pilot scheme, a trial to see whether...
