My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for his reply to my specific questions. I look forward to our debates on Clauses 8 and 13. To follow up on the point made by my noble friend Lady Afshar, although I think that the Minister was more or less answering it in what he said to me, it is a matter of concern that the many good projects working in communities, to which good people are recruited, find themselves on two-year or three-year contracts and unfortunately are told, "We don’t know whether you will be working next year. You’ve shown huge commitment and built relationships with vulnerable adults and young people, but we don’t know whether we can employ you". Is there any way that the Government will be able to monitor, as this is being implemented, whether funds are being diverted to financial income objectives to the detriment of important interventions of that kind? Perhaps that would be difficult. I am sure that we will hear more about this.
