Charities Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Charities Bill [HL].
My Lords, the thing is that weasely words have a value, and we all know that. I am not going to hover around and define them further, but basically we want this to go ahead as soon as can get on with it. The noble Lord, Lord Phillips, made the point that it ought to be after the clauses have had proper consideration in another place. That is a fair point. I shall see whether I can get some idea from my officials and advisers about what the timetable is and then let colleagues who are enwrapped by this provision have some idea of how it looks. Perhaps that will satisfy both noble Lords.
