As a basic principle, what we are trying to do here is ensure charities are more transparent and accountable in how they use their money. Let us see where we can take that principle with respect to the issue the Chairman is describing. We can see if furthering that principle and getting it ingrained a bit more, either legislatively or in guidelines, is something that will help a situation like that. I am not grasping it 100% but it strikes me there is something there in terms of the charity being able to explain itself as to why it used money in a certain way.
