Mr. Cohen
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many children are currently categorised as at risk in (a) London and (b) nationally.
Mrs Virginia Bottomley
The information collected centrally relates to children on the child protection registers. The provisional figures for March 1991 show about 7,630 children on registers for London authorities and 45,200 for England. These figures may be adjusted slightly when the final publication is released in the next few months.
