I apologise to my hon. Friend; perhaps my response to his question should have been clearer. We have considered the matter carefully and, as I said, we feel that the provision for CAFCASS to undertake a risk assessment at any time is satisfactory. The Bill is clear that if issues of domestic violence were to arise at that stage they can be a reasonable excuse. I am happy to state that in Committee and I hope that it is sufficient for my hon. Friend.
