I am thinking about what is in it for the Religious Sisters of Charity. I may be wrong on this.

I can think of one other example in my constituency where the Sisters of Mercy did not give land away but sold it at below market value to a local sports club on the basis that it would never be developed residentially and that there would be recourse. It just could not be done. As a result, the order has no interest in the land and has essentially vacated it. There is a similar example with the Carmelites. That is also in my constituency. There are examples. I am not saying it is done philanthropically. What Mr. Menton is saying, however, is that in the context of the holding company or the papers, there are no fingerprints or footprints of the Religious Sisters of Charity. If things changed in a century, there would be no route back into this company for the Religious Sisters of Charity or any church-related organisation.
