Children and Adoption Bill

: May I echo the point that my hon. Friend is making so eloquently? A reply dated 27 February to a question that I had asked in correspondence said that as of 30 November, 16.5 per cent., or one in six, private cases dealt with under the auspices of CAFCASS were unallocated. To develop the point made by the hon. and learned Member for Redcar (Vera Baird), I am concerned that the extra work programmes that we are imposing on CAFCASS may put it in a difficult position.
