Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 26 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [HL].


Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [HL]

My Lords, I interrupt the noble Lord only because I do not want this to become a running dispute between us, and I have the answer. The money looks less because quite a chunk of it was specifically for the publicity campaign last year. Staff levels and budgets have not been cut. The table says that this has come from the unit itself, so the amount decreased because there was a particular slice of money provided for that. The noble Lord need have no fear. The problem with information without context is something he knows that I feel very strongly about.
