If we look at other unions, such as the FBU, we see, in 2023, expenditure on the Palestine Solidarity Campaign again and on Stop the War, and the University and College Union donating to the Cuba Solidarity Campaign and Justice for Colombia. I am not quite sure what justice Colombia needs, but that is where it chose to spend its money. We will not know where it spends its money next time round. I remind noble Lords that if they do not support this amendment, all such payments will here on in remain hidden, which is why I cannot understand the resistance to these amounts being disclosed and to my amendment. I note that some of the payments from the funds are used on excellent campaigns, such as the fair tips campaign in the hospitality sector, but that could come out of the general fund quite comfortably.
