I wish to contribute on the back of that amendment in respect of the Land Registry. My point relates to a matter we discussed previously. The Minister of State will be aware of the key role that the PRA was likely to have played if, as planned, it had moved ahead with the proposal to have any rights of way or profits à prendrenot registered with it expire automatically last autumn. There was a very welcome decision by the Minister in response to me and others raising the issue to ensure no mass expiry of rights of way and profits à prendre. Rights of way and profits à prendre, which are not necessarily possessions, are currently registered with the PRA. Not all of them are, but many exist through lengthy use. For those that have been registered, what are the consequences under the transfer, even regarding the land registry and digitised land registry? Is there a separate register? I am almost looking for an update on the implications for those rights that do not entail ownership but that are property rights nevertheless, how they have been registered and how the transfer will work.
