I thank the Minister of State for being here with his staff and for clarifying issues today and previously. We all know there are 11,400 charities on the register and it is really important that everything is run properly and well. There has been great agreement across the House on this Bill. I have been speaking to people in the charities sector. The Minister of State clarified issues for me the last day and when I showed them the material on this Bill they were extremely happy about it. It is a good step in the right direction. We need to have absolute transparency in all these issues. With that number of charities we have to make sure that everything is run properly.

As always, I thank the Bills Office for all it does.
