5.32 pm

Lord Phillips of Sudbury had given notice of his intention to move Amendment No. 88:

The noble Lord said: My Lords, on the basis of what the Minister said before the Division, I am content to withdraw the amendment and I look forward to our discussion.

[Amendment No. 88 not moved.]

Lord Bassam of Brighton moved Amendments Nos. 89 to 94:


 
18 Oct 2005 : Column 719
 


"(3A) In its application to registered land within the meaning of the Land Registration Act 2002 (c. 9), subsection (2) has effect subject to section 27 of that Act (dispositions required to be registered)."
Page 47, line 32, after "section" insert—
"(a) "
Page 47, line 34, at end insert ", and
(b) any reference to all of the transferor's property, where the transferor is a charity within section 75C(4A), is a reference to all of the transferor's unrestricted property (within the meaning of that provision)."
Page 48, line 1, at end insert ", unless it is an excluded gift.
( ) A gift is an "excluded gift" if—
(a) the transferor is a charity within section 75C(4A), and
(b) the gift is intended to be held subject to the trusts on which the whole or part of the charity's permanent endowment is held."

On Question, amendments agreed to.

Clause 54 [Transfer of certificate between trustees of unincorporated charity]:

Lord Bassam of Brighton moved Amendment No. 95:


"(a) each of the holders is or was a trustee of a charity which is not a body corporate;"

The noble Lord said: My Lords, before I start, I should offer an apology to the noble Earl, Lord Caithness. I fancy that he will not know why we thought that the noble Lord, Lord Phillips, had a good point, but I will explain it to him later.

We believe that these amendments improve Clause 54, which makes provision for a simple process to transfer a public collection certificate between trustees of an unincorporated charity. Under the clause as drafted, the holder of a public collections certificate must be a trustee of the charity and consent to the transfer. However, it was pointed out to us during the Summer Recess that, under the clause as drafted, problems could arise where a holder of the certificate resigned or retired as a trustee and a significant period of time then elapsed before the appointment of a replacement trustee. In such a case, the holder would no longer be a trustee of the charity, and it may be difficult to obtain the consent of that holder of the certificate to transfer it to a new holder. It would also be possible for the holder of a certificate to withhold consent as a result of an unrelated dispute with the other trustees. These amendments remove such potential blockages and difficulties, while maintaining the principle that the proposed new holder must consent to the transfer. They also require the charity's trustees rather than the charity to consent to the transfer. I hope that your Lordships will accept these sensible and practical amendments. I beg to move.

On Question, amendment agreed to.
