HC Deb 20 May 1992 vol 208 cc173-4W
24. Mr. Robert Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on his policy for 16-year-olds leaving the care of local authorities.

Mr. Allan Stewart

The needs of young people leaving care are among the major issues which we have under review and which will figure in a White Paper on child care law and policy later this year. My right hon. and learned Friend the Minister of State has responded to a separate letter from the hon. Member on the subject.
