John Curran: I acknowledge Deputy Ring's contribution. It is realised and acknowledged that many trustees are professional people with skills. There may be complex issues to be dealt with that are not trustee services but additional facilities. Often, these people provide the services at less than the going rate. It is of benefit to the charity. It is not that trustees should be paid for trustee...

John Curran: I move amendment No. 88: In page 59, to delete lines 31 to 41. The Bill brings non-cash collections within the scope of the collection permit system for the first time.

John Curran: It is to facilitate charities. They do not have to apply 12 months in advance but this assists a charity looking for certainty. At present, one can only apply in the last six months and we propose to extend that period. A charity could organise in the summer for an event to take place next Easter. This gives charities a better chance to plan.

As regards this amendment, I will bring forward amendments to give the chief...
