Trusts (Capital and Income) Bill [HL]

Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts Excerpts

Tuesday 23rd October 2012 Lords Chamber

[Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon]

My Lords, on behalf of my noble friend Lord McNally, I beg to move that the Bill be now read a third time.

[Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts]

My Lords, before we wave goodbye to the Bill, and in congratulating the Government on its provisions, perhaps I may ask my noble friend to ensure that the Ministry of Justice understands that this was only a very small step and that there are many other aspects of the Bill as they affect charities which could usefully and properly be followed through.

[Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon]

My noble friend is correct. The Bill makes minor modifications and there is obvious scope to look at this issue further.
