§ Mr. FatchettTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will set out the arrangements and the timetable for the national review of the designation of care centres for the hearing of care cases brought under the Children Act 1989; and if he will list those organisations which are to be consulted at local level.
Mr. John M. TaylorThe national review of care centres, which has always been a part of the Lord Chancellor's arrangements for monitoring the Children Act, will begin in the late summer. The precise arrangements and timetable have yet to be finalised. Consideration is also being given to who should be consulted locally, in order that there should be a full and effective consultation.
