New Clause 7
Charities Bill [Lords]
3:00 pm
Martin Horwood (Shadow Minister (Environment), Environment, Food & Rural Affairs; Cheltenham, Liberal Democrat)
The hon. Gentleman makes more elegantly the point that I was struggling to make that charitable status can change and what happens to assets in the event of loss of charitable status is a serious issue. The hon. Gentleman and the Minister have pointed out technical problems with the drafting of my new clause, so I am content to withdraw the motion, but I hope that the debate has shown that there is a serious issue that the Minister might care to reflect on further. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the motion.
