My reaction to the hon. Gentleman’sinteresting point is that, under clause 10(2), the application is tothe commons registration authority, which would have to judge whetherit is in the interest of the common for that land to work. It would besurprising if the registration authority were to attach it to adominant tenement that is remote from the common. Our expectation isthat that would be done in the public interest and attached to thecommon.
