As far as I am concerned, this is excellent news, so can the Minister confirm that what she said to me in this letter is still the case? Can she confirm that officials are still looking for feedback? That would be helpful to know. If it is the case, I suspect the Minister may well argue that, as it is in the statutory guidance, it does not need to be in the Bill. But I go back to the term “cultural interests”, as it stands in the Bill, being a vague term in itself. It would be safer and more precise to give examples—as my Amendment 233 does—that are entirely in line with the Government’s intentions for such cultural assets.
