Charities Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 66:"Page 129, line 6, leave out sub-paragraph (2) and insert—" ““(   )   For subsection (1) substitute— ““(1)   Any person or body to whom this section applies may disclose information to the Commission if the disclosure is made for the purpose of enabling or assisting the Commission to discharge any of its functions. (1A)   Subsection (1) above has effect subject to— (a)   subsection (2) below, and (b)   any express restriction imposed by or under any other enactment.”””” The noble Lord said: Amendments Nos. 66 and 67 are essentially technical amendments that relate to Section 10 of the 1993 Act. Section 10(1) of the 1993 Act provides for the disclosure of information to the Charity Commission for the purpose of enabling or assisting the commission to discharge its functions. Under it, a body or person to whom the section applies may disclose to the commission any information received by that body or person under or for the purposes of any enactment. Amendment No. 66 amends Section 10(1) of the 1993 Act to remove the requirement for information that had been received under any enactment. It retains the other existing limitations in Section 10(1). Amendment No. 67 removes the specific provision regarding the Attorney-General, as it is no longer required following the general provision made by Amendment No. 66. I beg to move. On Question, amendment agreed to.
