HC Deb 04 March 1954 vol 524 cc102-3W
58. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Education whether she is aware of the success which has rewarded the experimental work at the Education Centre for Spastic Children at Swansea; and whether she will circularise local education authorities encouraging them to follow this example.

Miss Horsbrugh

This is an interesting experiment which I am watching, along with other developments in the education of children suffering from cerebral palsy. Authorities are aware of their duty to provide special educational treatment for physically handicapped pupils, including those suffering from cerebral palsy, and I do not think that they need specific encouragement from me.
