HC Deb 01 June 1998 vol 313 c133W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to review the guidance issued by his Department in respect of the Children Act 1989. [43296]

Mr. Boateng

There are no plans for a fundamental review of the guidance issued by the Department in respect of the Children Act 1989. Where legal changes or new policy requirements have arisen, appropriate guidance by way of a local authority circular has been issued.
