We now come to amendmentNo. 157, with which it will be convenient to take amendments Nos. 158, 77 and 159. I call Mr. Turner.

I was concerned about whether the Secretary of State would exercise the powers in respect of large charities. However, we have discussed enough the expenditure of large charities and whether further regulation is needed, so I do not propose to move the amendment.

Clause 69 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
