HC Deb 27 May 1971 vol 818 c197W
25. Mr. James Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will set up a special inquiry to deal with the needs of handicapped and backward children; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. van Straubenzee

No. As the answer given to the Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Norfolk, South (Mr. John E. B. Hill) on 25th May indicates, my right hon. Friend already has access to strongly based and independent advice on this subject.—[Vol. 818, c. 90.]
