§ Mr. Norman Hoggasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the local authorities in Scotland that continue to use corporal punishment in children's homes, day centres, assessment centres and list D schools.
§ Mr. FairgrieveThis information is not available centrally except for list D schools, only two of which are operated by a local authority. Both of these are in Strathclyde, where the regional council recently decided to discontinue the use of corporal punishment in all social work establishments for children.
