I agree with the hon. Gentleman. Does he also note what Stephen Geraghty, chief executive of the CSA, said in response to question No. 85? He made it clear that the agency was considering coming to an agreement and writing off some of that debt. It is not clear from that or from the Bill whether that could be done with only the consent of the parent with care. There is a contradiction in the evidence, even with the assurance given at that sitting.
