§ '(2) Where in the case of any trust which is a recognised body—
- (a) the number of trustees is less than three; and

§ Lord Fraser of CarmyllieMy Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 40 and 41. These are drafting 1556 amendments brought forward in response to a suggestion made in another place. It was thought that it was not altogether clear whether the power given to me was a joint power for the trustees and myself or a parallel power. These amendments make clear that it is a joint power.
Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 40 and 41.—(Lord Fraser of Carmyllie.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
