To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether a Government response was prepared following the submission by the Northern Regional Health Authority of its report Action Taken Following the Judicial Inquiry into Child Abuse in Cleveland in 1988; and, if so, what that response contained.

The information requested is not available. Retention of such records as were held by the Department would have expired. We are continuing to research records in order to cooperate fully with the Review of the Home Office investigations announced on 7 July 2014, and with the Inquiry Panel into child sexual abuse.
