I move amendment No. 60:

In page 33, between lines 6 and 7, to insert the following:

"(5) A person or body who—

(a) holds themselves or another person or body (whether or not such a body is established under law or not),

(b) implies that such persons or such body,

is acting or has acted in furtherance of charitable purposes as defined in this Act, whether or not the word "charity" or any derivation of same is used in connection with such person or body, without having been registered under this Act shall be guilty of an offence where the Authority is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that such persons or body are not acting in furtherance of any such charitable purposes.".
