(2) In the case of domestic dwellings no sum of money above £500 is to be removed without the civil enforcement officer recording the purpose for which the money is to be used.”” The noble Lord said: I should like to take this opportunity to give thanks to the Minister for her explanation of all the matters contained in this very wide grouping. I will take her remarks away and look at them again because there are some matters which I am not sure that we should deal with now. I have some very good speeches which I could have made, but I do not want to waste them now and I will bring them back on Report. In the mean time, I shall not move any of the amendments standing in my name today but I reserve my right to come back to them on Report. I thank the Minister for her attempts to meet our arguments. [Amendment No. 69 not moved.] [Amendments Nos. 70 to 73 not moved.]
