I will conclude by sending out a very clear message. The proceeds of people's goodwill, the money they donate to charity for the benefit of those less fortunate than themselves, is not, should not be and will not be easy pickings for fraud. It will not be tolerated. The act of donating to a charity, volunteering for a charity and even setting up a charity should be valued and promoted. We have a proud, noble tradition of providing assistance to those in need. Our spirit of volunteerism is one to treasure and value. I recognise that the Deputies opposite have put this motion to the House in that spirit and I accept it.
