I move amendment No. 28:

In page 32, before section 42, to insert the following new section:

"42.—It shall be an offence for a person or body to act or purport to act 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 such charitable purposes having been registered under this Act, where the Authority is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the person or body so acting or purporting to act is not acting in furtherance of any such charitable purposes.".
