We are discussing provisions where a bona fide purchaser for value is completely protected: we are dealing with property that has become mixed with recoverable property. The hon. Gentleman appears to be suggesting that we can completely ignore the enforcement authority's rights, when it is seeking to deal with such property, even to the point where it does not matter—according to my reading of subsection (6)—that the enforcement authority's rights are unduly prejudiced. That does not matter to him, and he is suggesting that that is fair.
