Clause 40
Charities Bill [Lords]
5:15 pm
Andrew Turner (Shadow Minister (Charities), Home Affairs; Isle of Wight, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 40, in clause 40, page 40, line 19, leave out ‘(or any of the purposes)’.
This is really quite a simple amendment, which invites the Minister to say why he is happy that a charity that has, say, four purposes should be permitted to transfer its property to a charity that might have only one of those four purposes. In the general interests of ensuring that the donor’s wishes are applied where reasonably practicable and where there is nothing to suggest that any of the four purposes are not practicable, it is odd that proposed new section 74(4)(b) of the 1993 Act should say
“or any of the purposes”.
I propose the deletion of those words.
