My Lords, my honourable friend Tim Lawton put down a Written Question in another place on Friday 14 October—I am very impressed that it was answered by Monday 17 October—asking the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what funding had been given to CAFCASS in each of the past five years and how much was planned for 2005–06 and 2006–07. Although this rose considerably from 2001–02, from £80.8 million to £107 million in 2004–05, in 2005–06 it is £101 million because £6 million was transferred to Wales. It looks as if it is frozen for 2006–07 at £101 million. At a time when CAFCASS is going to be required to do more, it seems that their budget is frozen. Will the Minister comment on that?
