Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill

Before the noble and learned Lord sits down, I have a question about the e-mail from the Charity Commission, which I have here. My reading of it is that the question about resource implications is a subsidiary argument, and that the key argument is:

“We do not believe that, in the best interests of public trust and confidence in charities, an exemption for charities is the most appropriate method for the regulation of charities during an election period”.

Surely that is the argument that the Charity Commission is putting forward against this amendment. The question about resources is just supporting that.
