HC Deb 05 June 1986 vol 98 cc616-7W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what information he has on the circumstances surrounding the closure of Oriel Lodge Sudbury; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Whitney

The Registered Homes Act 1984 places responsibility for registering and inspecting residential care homes on local social services authorities. I would suggest therefore that my hon. Friend pursues his inquiries about the situation at Oriel Lodge with the Suffolk county council.
