Rev. Martin Smyth

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) how many places are available in secure accommodation for young people in care in Northern Ireland; [106449]

(2) how many care homes have been overcrowded in each of the last three years; [106454]

(3) how much has been spent in providing alternative places in hotels for both young people and accompanying staff in the last three years. [106448]

Mr. Mandelson

Responsibility for this subject has been devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly and is therefore no longer a matter for the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.
