HC Deb 22 March 1990 vol 169 c755W
93. Mr. John Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the latest official estimate of missing children in Great Britain; and if he will make a statement.

97. Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give the latest official estimate of missing children in Great Britain; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

There is no centrally collated figure. Chief officers of police are responsible locally for keeping records of missing persons and for deciding whether to keep separate records of the number of missing children.
