§ Beverley HughesI refer the hon. Member to the reply my hon. Friend the Member for Wallasey (Ms Eagle) gave to the hon. Member for Gainsborough (Mr. Leigh) on 26 March 2002,Official Report, column 896W, regarding staff numbers.
The numbers of teachers, health care staff and social workers have not yet been set. We expect that most of the work force to be employed in accommodation centres will be drawn from the existing local population, whose school-age children will already be in a local school.
No decisions have been made on remuneration arrangements for staff employed at accommodation centres.
