I have listened to what the Minister said. The wording should have been "The qualifying party or the member to which the parliamentary activities allowance shall be obliged to produce an annual tax clearance certificate". I will table an amendment with that wording on Report Stage because the payment is made to qualifying parties. "Qualifying party" is the phrase used in the legislation and it goes on to say or to a Member if he or she is not a member of a qualifying party. I understand the Minister picking me up on the use of the word "fund".
