I support this amendment wholeheartedly, as it is seeking to address this. I worry that the Bill fails to clarify the situation sufficiently and that inadvertently we might revert to the provisions of the 1966 Act. But, if the Albert Hall chooses and wishes to remain a charity, it must act like one. This amendment is a very small step on the road to reforming the governing practices of the organisation so that it is line with what is expected from the 170,000-plus registered charities in England and Wales. The Royal Albert Hall cannot be allowed to remain an exception to the rules.
