Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of looked-after children who were released from custody in January 2019 had a resettlement care plan confirmed 10 working days prior to their release from custody.

The information requested can only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

Data on looked-after children (LAC) released from custody would require the examination of information technology systems to specifically establish and validate appropriate records for resettlement plans within 10 days of release.
