Mr. Reynolds

I beg to move, Amendment No. 26, in page 16, line 11, to leave out "any" and to insert "all or part of".

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Would it be convenient for the House to consider, at the same time, Amendments Nos. 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31?

Mr. Reynolds

That is convenient, since this series of Amendments is designed to make it possible for a charity to apply to the Court of Session for a direction setting aside the automatic process laid down in subsection (2), whereby the charitable funds of a disbanded unit are transferred during the period of six months instead of three months less a fortnight. This applies to Scottish law the point which we discussed on Amendments to Clause 18.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 16, line 11, leave out from "property" to second "that" in line 14.

In line 14, leave out "before the expiry of that period" and insert: at any time within the period of six months beginning with the date on which the warrant comes into force,".

In line 16, after first "to", insert: make such a direction as is mentioned in subsection (2) of this section in relation to that property or part and to".

In line 16, at end insert "or part".

In line 21, leave out "shall" and insert "may".
