Clause 34: 11 Jul 2006: Public Bill Committees (TheyWorkForYou.com)

Clause 34

Charitable incorporated organisations

Question proposed, That the clause stand part of the Bill.

Alun Michael (Cardiff South & Penarth, Labour)

I apologise for intervening at this stage, but I have a deep reservation about accepting schedule 7.

Roger Gale (North Thanet, Conservative)

Order. We are at clause 34.

Martin Horwood (Shadow Minister (Environment), Environment, Food & Rural Affairs; Cheltenham, Liberal Democrat)

On a point of order, Mr. Gale. Clause 34 refers to schedule 7.

Roger Gale (North Thanet, Conservative)

We have not reached schedule 7.

Alun Michael (Cardiff South & Penarth, Labour)

The clause says:

“Schedule 7, which makes provision about charitable incorporated organisations, has effect.”

My reservation, which I hope the Minister will agree to consider by Report, is that the schedule incorporates a pointless acronym into law.

It being One o’clock, The Chairman adjourned the Committee without Question put, pursuant to the Standing Order.

Adjourned till this day at Four o'clock.
