If an individual comes in under those powers and takes over all the responsibilities of trustees, that ought to be clear in common-sense language to people outside. If that individual is taking over only a specific area, such as protection of property, that also ought to be clear because the trustees are still in place. I suggest to my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary that he may be right—that defending what is in the Bill is the right course to take. However, it would be sensible to reflect on the available options and try to achieve terminology that is clear to the general public.
