§ Mr. Onslowasked the Secretary of State for Social Services which local authorities now maintain a register of children at risk; and how many children have so far been referred to each of these registers.
§ Dr. OwenI regret that this information is not at present available centrally. We have, however, recently asked directors of social services for details of register systems and the number of cases on each register. When we have received their replies I shall write to the hon. Gentleman.
