Last Monday, I attended a meeting with Deputies Maureen O'Sullivan and Ó Snodaigh relating to problems in the city where many worthy charities are collecting money. Nevertheless, a significant minority of so-called chuggers are causing severe problems through the aggressive collection of money on the streets. The Charities Act 2009 was to introduce measures to control the activity but they have not been put in operation through a code of practice. When will that code come into operation?

The Deputy has raised an important issue. I will ask the Whip to raise the matter and see what the current position is of the code of conduct. The issue has been reported to me from the streets recently.
