HC Deb 06 June 1995 vol 261 c34W
Mr. Sykes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will add the police to the list of those persons the local authority must notify before a child is placed in secure residential care under the Arrangements for Placement of Children (General) Regulations 1991, regulation 5. [26903]

Mr. Bowis

I remain to be convinced that this would be right, given that many children in secure accommodation are not offenders.
