HC Deb 26 March 1976 vol 908 cc312-3W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list those regional authorities which have no residential units for young persons in need of care, together with a note of what plans exist to remedy any lack of facilities.

Mr. William Ross

All regional authorities have residential establishments of different types for young persons in need of care. New facilities under construction or at an advanced stage of planning will provide about 300 places in local authority children's homes, about 230 places in assessment centres and about 70 places in voluntary List D schools.
