Dear Buckinghamshire County Council,

Please could you state how much your Council spent during the
financial year 2013-2014 on EACH of the following

1. Non-repayable grants to Foster Parents

a. towards the purchase of bigger cars. If more than one
family received a grant please elaborate.

b. towards the building of house extensions or the
purchase of bigger houses. If more than one
family received a grant please elaborate.

If recipients later cease fostering, are grants
repayable, in full or in part, - or would they be if
this situation hasn't yet arisen?

1. Non-repayable grants to Adoptive Parents

If after a grant has been received adopted children are
returned to Local Authority care, or are removed, are

be if this situation hasn't yet arisen

Yours faithfully,
