In the interests of time—sorry, Paul—we need to move on to the next theme, which is information about charity trustees.

Thanks. Do witnesses have any concerns around the proposal to publish unredacted accounts for all charities regardless of size? Do you feel that the publication of accounts for all charities will enhance transparency and accountability in the charity sector? That question is for Jason Henderson first, and, if anyone who is online wants to come in after that, please let me know.

Thanks, David. That is very helpful.
As no one else wishes to come in on those points, I will move to our next theme. Our deputy convener, Emma Roddick, has the next questions.

Thank you, Jason. Do witnesses agree that removing charitable status from organisations that fail to submit accounts is an appropriate measure? Mixed views on that were expressed in the informal meeting yesterday for a variety of reasons. I will bring David Gibson in on that question.
