Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

I want to raise a point of clarification. The Minister said that the money is a very small amount in relation to total budgets for children. Is he talking about £2 million for each social work practice pilot of six to 10 social workers? If so, that is quite a lot of money. My trust has had pilots on something else and we had £1.5 million from the Government. That was big money in terms of what we were trying to do, but rather similar. It is important to understand what this £2 million is. Secondly, if £2 million for a social work practice is the idea, will the local authority have the freedom to devote that money to another kind of pilot within their own area to develop administrative changes as I was suggesting earlier?
