HC Deb 12 April 1972 vol 834 c197W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the report of the findings of the latest inspection of Corsbie Hall School in Fife; and whether the inspection included an examination of the accounts.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The report contains information and advice which I have to take into account in exercising my statutory duty to decide whether to grant final registration, and it must remain confidential. Inspection of independent schools does not include examination of the accounts.

Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many of the boys currently at the Corsbie Hall School in Fife were sent there by Scottish local education authorities, English local education authorities, and how many by other organisations or local government departments in England and Scotland, respectively.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

At the close of the spring term, the position was that 35 boys had been placed by Scottish education authorities; four by an English education authority; 11 by Scottish social work departments; and four by English social services departments.
