§ Sir Sydney ChapmanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the Centrepoint-National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children report, "Nowhere to Hide: Giving Young Runaways a Voice", a copy of which has been sent to him; and what progress has been made since the inter-departmental and inter-agency meetings in 1992. [39650]
§ Mr. MacleanWe have not received a copy of the report but will be glad to look at it should a copy be sent to us.
The Home Office has funded the Police National Missing Persons Bureau, which was set up in 1994 as a national resource for information on vulnerable persons, including juveniles, who have been reported as missing for over 28 days, and those who have been missing for less than 28 days but whose disappearance gives ground for concern.
