However, we will always consider the impact of the Bill’s provisions on charities. This means providing exceptions to charities on a case-by-case basis to ensure they are proportionate, workable and event-specific. I assure your Lordships’ Committee that the Government’s application of provisions in the Bill will never seek to restrict the ability of charities to advertise the vital, life-saving services they provide. An exception will always be provided in regulations for promoting this type of activity, including crisis and mental health support services. I would be very happy to meet the noble Lord, Lord Holmes, to discuss this and other aspects of the Bill further.
