§ Mr. McLeishTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he received the report of the inquiry into child care in Fife; if he will publish it; what was the total cost of the inquiry; and whether Fife regional council will be asked to make a contribution to the costs.
§ Mr. Stewart[pursuant to his reply, 26 June 1992, c. 363–64]: My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Scotland, has now decided that the report of Sheriff Kearney's inquiry into children's services in Fife should be published as a return to an order to the House when the House reassembles. This will provide the necessary time for proof reading and printing the report, which is lengthy.
