Accountability · outcome beside Green Book evidence
Inheritance and Trustees’ Powers Act became law. The official papers we read left large gaps across the Green Book five cases. For accountability, the parliamentary outcome sits beside a thin published evidence trail — that is a scrutiny signal, not a verdict.

Economic: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not give a figure in pounds for what it would cost or save. That is not a yes or no on the bill.
Commercial: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not say how this would be bought, contracted or put in place.
Financial: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not say who would pay for it, or where the money would come from.
Management: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not say who would be in charge of running it.
This is an accountability reading, not a recommendation and not a score. It does not say whether Parliament should have passed or rejected the bill. It only sets the actual parliamentary outcome beside how complete the Green Book five-case evidence was in the official papers.
These UK Acts sit in a similar policy space and are already law. Pairing uses this proposal’s official papers (and the plain-English note themes). It is not a verdict that the proposal is redundant or unnecessary.
