Was the topic confined to what the HoL can achieve? My personal congratulations to Lady Campbell - my family have suffered for years because of the mysteries of a local authority 'owning' my sister. I will make available my evidence via Baroness Murphy since I originally brought the subject up with her. It is truly shocking when first confronted with it. Can you confirm if LAs have been given money to entice the return of their 'property' (ie people who have chosen to live outside of the LA)?
