Ms Madeleine Delaney:

Yes, it depends on who the trustees are and what the rules say about making such a fundamental change. Normally, members would have control in that instance. There are some controls on people being able to do such a fundamental thing and it could not be passed without them getting support from their membership. There are a number of different things in place, but in theory an organisation could and we would have to rely on someone telling us that it was trying to do this unbeknownst to us.
