Ms Martin cannot say that, therefore. We are here to help the Charities Regulator in this scenario. From a resource point of view, the committee does periodic reports and if members believe the Charities Regulator needs more resources, we will say that plainly. It involves a statement that as Charities Regulator, and this is not Ms Martin's fault, she cannot hand on heart say that the Charities Regulator has the capacity or resources to assure the public that funds left in wills to charitable organisations are used for the purposes for which they were intended.
