Ms Madeleine Delaney:

No, it should not be as in their governing document says what they have to do. Again when we are looking at them as part of the registration process, we look at what we call "key standard clauses" to see that they have them, which locks in the property for the charitable purpose. They cannot just stop being a charity and decide to do something else. That is how it works unless people want to go rogue but there should be checks and balances within the organisation to do that and that is the protection. A difficulty might be that most of the AHBs on our register were grandfathered on to the register so they did not have to come through so we were not have able to run the rule over them and make sure that they have all of those clauses in place and I cannot guarantee that they are all protected as they should be. Some of them are quite loose associations.
