With regard to questions 3 & 4 this information is not held.  The local
authority would not know how many asylum seeking families with children
live in their area because these families are supported by the Home Office
(S.95 NASS support).  Unless there are safeguarding concerns, they would
not come to the attention of Department of Education and Social Services.
