Clause 45
Charities Bill [Lords]
7:00 pm
Peter Bottomley (Worthing West, Conservative)
I am not certain whether I have missed something. If someone believes that they are making a local short-term collection and they notify the local authority and the local authority responds either by doing nothing or serving a notice under subsection (4), page 57, it seems that duties have been fulfilled on both sides. The local authority either responds or it does not. If it does, it is challengeable. If it does not respond, it can be allowed to go ahead. I am not sure whether I have missed the point.
