Charities Bill [HL]

Perhaps the noble Lord will let me finish. I listened to the force of the argument made by the noble and gallant Lord. I want to reflect a little more on the first of his amendments, but I also wish to make   it plain that I will have to continue to resist Amendment No. 9 on grounds of consistency. If he will think further on Amendment No. 1, I am prepared to say that I will give it further consideration and that there could perhaps be discussion on the point. As it is, the Bill is entirely workable and supportable.
