Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Bill [Lords]

I could not agree more with the opening remarks of my right hon. Friend in describing, to use an awful expression, the charitable landscape. I am a patron of Unlock and a trustee of the Prison Reform Trust. Both organisations have concerns, which I hope he can allay, that this much needed legislation might make it more difficult for them—bearing in mind that the subjects that interest them are prisons, prison reform and the condition of

prisoners—to have among their trustees people with criminal convictions. The point is obvious, but I am sure that he can deal with it.
