For instance, on the heritage objective, I hope that the Minister will agree that it is helpful to say in the Bill that it includes both tangible and intangible aspects. As she will know from her work in the department, the UK recently ratified the 2003 UNESCO convention on intangible heritage, and her department is now leading some exciting work to get people to bring forward examples of intangible heritage. It seems to me that football is rife with examples that people might put forward for inscription on that UNESCO list, so I am interested in why we should not put that definition in the Bill to make sure that it is clearly in the mind of the regulator and all those doing the work and is not just hidden away in the Explanatory Notes.
