We have done amendment No. 1. I suppose amendment No. 2, in my name, is self-explanatory because it proposes that "following the dissolution of the Authority and after all its liabilities have been met and subject to there being a surplus remaining the Council shall establish a central fund to be used for social gain for the benefit of the local community to be administered in conjunction with the Docklands Community Trust". I want to amend the Bill in this way to ensure any benefit arising from a surplus goes to the local community and to local businesses. This will ensure they benefit to the maximum degree and the area benefits to the maximum degree. We need to ensure the money is targeted specifically into those communities where there are many issues to be addressed.
