Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will publish the number of (a) outstanding applications proposing premises for supported accommodation, (b) existing accommodation places available for supported accommodation and (c) applications for supported accommodation outstanding for more than 12 months for each local authority with children’s social care responsibilities.

These are matters for His Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Sir Martyn Oliver. I have asked him to write to the hon. Member for South West Devon and a copy of his reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
