Charities Bill [HL]

I am grateful to the noble Lord and will look forward to what comes out of this. Very briefly, I think that the noble Lord will accept that if I go on to your premises with a warrant and remove documents or devices, as the clause stands it would be sufficient for me to go back to the charity commission and two days later make a record or list. That is not sensible on any basis. All that these amendments seek to do is to put that plainly on the face of the Bill so that there is no slippage on this. If you put yourself in the shoes of being a trustee from whose house documents and devices are taken, you want to know that what is taken has been properly logged. The only way that that can occur is if that takes place at the time concerned. The noble Lord made the point that there may be circumstances where one has to override fair process, but we will wait and see and I am grateful for what was said. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 42 and 43 not moved.]
