I turn now to the amendments tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Holmes of Richmond. Amendment 90 would exclude activities undertaken by registered charities to further their charitable purposes from the application of any provision in the Bill. The exclusion would not apply to activity undertaken for commercial purposes in certain circumstances. It would also enable the Secretary of State to define in regulations activity that may fall within the definition of charitable purposes, impose conditions on the availability of the exclusion and require charities to notify enforcement authorities of their reliance on the exclusion.
