Written Question
Adoption
Wednesday 25th February 2015

Asked by: Tim Yeo (Conservative - South Suffolk)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many children of Chinese origin have been adopted by people resident in the UK in the last five years.

Answered by Edward Timpson

Between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2014, the Department for Education has processed a total of 73 inter-country adoptions where China is the child’s country of origin.

This figure relates to inter-country adoption cases in which the adopters are habitually resident in England only, as adoption is a devolved matter.

"The hon. Gentleman—in terms of the Committee’s work, he is probably my hon. Friend—is absolutely right about that point. The situation will get much more serious from Europe’s point of view in relation to its reliance on imports from Russia. I commend the work of the International Energy Agency, and …..."

"That is an interesting point. France is exposed to the risk of something that derails nuclear technology. Last year’s Japanese accident, which was actually an industrial rather than a nuclear accident, effectively led to the closure of nuclear power in Germany. France has rightly taken a more robust attitude. The …..."
