I thank the right hon. Gentleman for dealing with this issue through an evidence-led strategy. He agrees with the Government that we need to conduct the research and the pilots in order to understand what is happening.

I can give some evidence of Conservative support for this work. How will the pilots be selected? Will it be done on a local authority basis?
