I refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 3 February 2009, Hansard, columns 1055-58W.

The response showed that there were no children looked after in 2008 that had more than 30 foster placements. This means that there were also no children looked after in 2008 that had more than (a) 60, (b) 70, (c) 80, (d) 90 and (e) 100 foster placements while in care.
