CAFCASS' BUDGET

Early day motion 1823, tabled 17 June 2008 by Kelvin Hopkins (Labour). Signed by 40 members.

That this House welcomes the increase in CAFCASS' budget in the next financial year; is concerned that the additional money should not be used on increases in bureaucracy, consultants or tiers of management; and therefore urges that the money be used to fund frontline services in order to ensure a high quality of services for children and families.

Signatures by party: Labour 30, Liberal Democrat 6, Independent 2, Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
