That seems to be the theme of the Bill, in so far as it has one. The Secretary of State has to certify on a number of occasions that something cannot happen unless resources are available. He does not have to certify whether sufficient personnel or resources are available in relation to clauses 71, 72 and 73, but he does in relation to some of the menu of answers to youth justice issues. Have you had an opportunity to express your views to the Government about the resources aspect of this part of the legislation, other than in your written submissions?
