Clause 3
Amendment of section 5
Section 5 of the Charities Act is amended —
by deleting the words “trusts (or, if the trusts are not set out in any document, particulars of them)” in subsection (5) and substituting the words “governing instruments (or, if any provisions of the governing instruments are not set out in any document, particulars of them)”; and
by inserting, immediately after subsection (6), the following subsection:“(6A) Where the governing instrument of a registered charity requires the prior approval of the Commissioner for any amendment to the governing instrument and the Commissioner has delegated his power to grant such approval to a Sector Administrator under section 40C(1)(e), that requirement shall be deemed to apply as if it required the prior approval of the Sector Administrator (instead of the Commissioner) for the amendment of the governing instrument.”.
