HC Deb 09 February 1988 vol 127 c143W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he intends to introduce any proposals to significantly alter the children's hearing system; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

No. In setting up a review of child care law in Scotland we made it clear that children's hearings will continue their central role in the Scottish system for dealing with children in need of compulsory measures of care.
