We think that it is helpful if the Bill clearlysets out the purposes to be achieved by the registers held andmaintained by commons registration authorities. Subsection (1)explains:
“Thepurpose of the register of common land is...to register land ascommon land; and...rights of commonexercisable”
over suchland. Subsection (2) applies the same principles in relation to theregister of town or village greens.
