On the issue of significant events, is it going to be prescriptive? Is it going to be a case of this is what we deem to be significant events or will it be these are the three we believe will be the most significant events but there could be others we have not identified but we will work through them when we identify them? I am trying to clarify if it will be prescriptive. The big concern charities and community and voluntary groups will have is that it may or may not be a broad approach. We have three changes that are fairly detailed and we know what they are. Will the Charities Regulator be allowed then to bring in a fourth, fifth or sixth which it will then deem to be significant events? Is that leeway going to be given to the Charities Regulator?
