§ Mr. BoatengThe latest figures for the numbers of children looked after because of homelessness, by individual social services department responsible for care, were published in "Children Looked After by Local Authorities, Year Ending 31 March 1995, England" (Table 5). The figures in this publication relate to cases where a child's family was either homeless or evicted or where a child was over sixteen and was homeless or evicted. Copies of the publication are available in the Library.
