HC Deb 18 December 1979 vol 976 cc171-2W
Mr. Bill Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many boys from the Blairgowrie area are at present in list D Schools; and how many have been in these schools in the last 10 years.

Mr. Fairgrieve

This information is not available centrally and could not be obtained without disproportionate expense.

Mr. Bill Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many boys in the Blairgowrie area are on record as being suitable for training at an intermediate centre.

Mr. Fairgrieve

This information is not held centrally. Suitability for intermediate treatment is determined primarily by the needs of particular children as established by children's hearings.
