Funding government expenses under CA 1989 s. 106
Expenses and grants of the Secretary of State are paid by Parliament, while sums received under section 58 or repaid grants go to the Consolidated Fund.
Any— grants made by the Secretary of State under this Act; and any other expenses incurred by the Secretary of State under this Act, shall be payable out of money provided by Parliament. Any sums received by the Secretary of State under section 58, or by way of the repayment of any grant made under section 82(2) or (4) shall be paid into the Consolidated Fund.

What it actually says
This section establishes how ministerial expenses and grants under the Act are funded and accounted for at the national level. Any grants made or administrative costs incurred by the Secretary of State while implementing the Act are paid out of money voted by Parliament.
Conversely, money received by the Secretary of State under section 58, or recovered through the repayment of grants under section 82(2) or (4), cannot be kept by the minister or department. All such funds must be transferred directly into the UK Treasury's central account, known as the Consolidated Fund.
When it applies
- Parliament providing funds to pay for grants made by the Secretary of State under the Act.
- The Secretary of State paying operational expenses incurred when administering statutory powers under the Act.
- The government paying recovered grant funds under section 82(2) or (4) into the Consolidated Fund.
What this section does not say
- Funding provided by local authorities for local child social care services.
- Maintenance payments or financial support between parents following a separation.
- Court costs or legal aid funding awarded to individuals in family law proceedings.
That's the law. Now let's settle your problem.
Say what is happening. A neutral mediator hears your side and the other party's, and walks you both to a written agreement. In the advanced settings you can ask for the decision to be reasoned on the Acts of Parliament that apply in England and Wales.
Or open a session directly and invite the other party.
