HC Deb 10 February 1995 vol 254 c442W
Mr. Keith Hill

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when she expects to publish the results of her inquiry into small children's homes; and if she will consider extending the provisions of the Children Act 1989 to such homes.

Mr. Bowis

I expect the report of the social services. inspectorate study of small children's homes to be submitted to me within the next few months.

Provisions in the Children Act 1989, and in regulations made under that Act, already apply to such homes.
