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

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.

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