Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].


Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

On a point of information, we managed in the previous debate to reach an understanding that the total cost of the powers would be £6 million. When we talk about the powers being ongoing for five years, does the Minister agree that it would be very helpful to allocate a similar, small amount of money, £6 million, to generate control groups, control pilots in other local authorities where we would do exactly the same thing in terms of administrative change but within the local authority? We got halfway through that discussion, but it might be helpful if we could clarify it further in this context.
