asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many children are presently subject to child protection orders. [HL2708]

On 31 March 2007 there were 30 children looked after by English local authorities who were subject to an emergency protection order. The number of children looked after under an emergency protection order at 31 March over the last five years has remained fairly constant, ranging from 70 to 30.
