Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

I beg the Minister’s pardon for intervening at this point, but I should like further clarification. The concept of pilots is mentioned only once in the White Paper—a minor reference in chapter 7 proposing that perhaps there might be legislation to establish a variety of two-year pilots. It is slightly surprising that these pilots come up in Clauses 1 to 6 and are given Part 1 of the Bill. The most important part of a Bill is usually bang at the front. If the money involved is only £6 million, as the Minister rightly says, of the £300 million that is being spent, one wonders why it is given such prominence in the Bill.
