Perhaps I may respond to the noble Lords, Lord Lucas and Lord Jamieson, about the wider review. I am afraid I cannot give the noble Lord, Lord Jamieson, the specific answers he referred to but we spoke about this during the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. Once we have scoped what the wider review around trusts and open spaces will be, I will write to noble Lords who have taken part in these debates and inform them of how and when we are going to carry out that review and the likely timescales. I have been a bit busy with other legislation, I am afraid, so I have not got round to that yet. That said, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Banner, for bringing forward this amendment and raising this important topic.
