HC Deb 20 July 1978 vol 954 c395W
Mrs. Chalker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now institute an official inquiry into the handling of the Darryn Clarke case.

Mr. Moyle

I have now seen the reports on this case by the Liverpool city council and the Liverpool area health authority (teaching). I agree with the view expressed on all sides that an independent inquiry should be held. I am arranging for urgent discussions with the authorities concerned on how this should be conducted.
