Proceeding contribution from John Hemming (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 July 2009. It occurred during Estimates day on Looked-after Children.


Looked-after Children

The figures that I have from the SSDA903 return state that in England between 7,000 and 8,000 children a year are going into care. That does not entirely reconcile with the hon. Gentleman's figure of 90,000. Can he explain the difference?
