Estates of Deceased Persons (Forfeiture Rule and Law of Succession) Bill

I return to the point that the Law Commission had made. Its recommendation about creating trust provisions—originally with the Public Trustee—arose from an anxiety that money should be administered without benefit, particularly indirect benefit, to a killer. Although that could have been done by private trustees rather than the Public Trustee and without public cost, its original thinking was that something along those lines was needed. Is the right hon. Gentleman confident that he was right not to include it in the Bill?
