Exactly. It's how you present and phrase it that makes the question work.

.......which highlights the fact that it isn't what your argument and justification is but how you argue it......sort of. There is no need for heritage and archaeology to be that constituency if the situation arises but it does mean tying it all together so that a threat to part of it is treated like a threat to all of it. That's the part which requires coordination.
