I am grateful to the hon. Member for Harrow, West for his explanation and to the Minister for her comments. I shall withdraw my amendment, but the provision seems a slightly obscure way of imposing a requirement on a society to keep proper records. The provision imposes a power on the chairman only to make a declaration that all practicable and reasonable steps have been taken.
