I return to the question of costs. My noble friend mentioned the judiciary and the training requirement. I want to bring forward the concerns of women’s organisations, refuges and specialist provision that have continued to support women under a great deal of duress and struggle. We do not have any idea at this stage of the numbers of women and men who will be seeking support and assistance as a result of the Bill. It would be seeking a fool’s paradise to ask the Government to ring-fence some money, as that is not going to happen. How does my noble friend suggest that we ensure that the requirement for extra resources will be considered seriously?
