New Clause 1
Charities Bill [Lords]
2:15 pm
Andrew Turner (Shadow Minister (Charities), Home Affairs; Isle of Wight, Conservative)
I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.
This is an attempt to set out the responsibilities and duties of trustees in a single clause. I am sure that the Minister will tell us that they appear elsewhere in the legislation, or they might appear spread out over lots of different parts of the legislation. It may be that in the consolidation to which my hon. Friend the Member for Worthing, West referred a moment ago, those duties and responsibilities will be clarified and brought together. The new clause is probing rather than one that I expect to press to a vote.
