HC Deb 06 May 1993 vol 224 c224W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many children were in local authority care in each local authority in England during 1992.

Mr. Yeo

Information is not yet available about the numbers of children looked after at 31 March 1992 by individual local authorities. However, the Children Act Report 1992 contains estimated totals for England by legal status, including whether subject to a care order.

The number of children who were in the care of each local authority in 1991 are given in "Children in Care of local authorities year ending 31 March 1991, England".

Copies of the publications referred to are in the Library.
