§ 50. Mr. Parkinasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in his annual return of the numbers of children in care, he will break down the figures into smaller areas; if he will now give the most recent available figures, per thousand, of child population for the borough of Paddington and, separately, for each ward of the borough; and how these compare with the national average.

§ Mr. VosperI should not feel justified in asking the councils of counties and county boroughs generally, who are the local authorities responsible for child care, to produce additional statistics relating to parts of their areas. I understand from the London County Council that the information relating to children in care, requested in the second part of the Question, is not available.
