§ Mr. Wyn Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many privately-owned schools or homes for emotionally deprived children there are in England and Wales, respectively; and where they are located.
§ Miss Joan LestorThe term "emotionally deprived" is not used by the Department in the categorisation of schools. The number of independent schools in England, however, which cater wholly or mainly for maladjusted children is 79; and there are 19 special schools for those children which are provided by voluntary bodies.
