Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many registered foster carers there have been in each of the last 10 years.
This is a matter for Ofsted. I have asked Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Amanda Spielman, to write to my hon. Friend the Member for East Worthing and Shoreham (Tim Loughton) with the information requested. A copy of the letter will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
