HC Deb 13 July 1971 vol 821 c51W
Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has caused an inquiry to be made into the failure of the administering authority for the De Crespigny Park, Camberwell, boys hostel, and of his own inspectors, to detect the breaches in the Administration of Children's Homes Regulations, 1951 perpetrated there until the murder for which a member of the staff was subsequently convicted.

Sir K. Joseph

I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply today to his other Questions on this matter. I do not consider a formal inquiry would serve a useful purpose.
