§ 69. Mr. Dykesasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will institute a special study into the provision of equipment in special schools for handicapped children.
§ Miss Margaret JacksonWe have no plans to do so. On design aspects of equipment and furniture for handicapped children my Department already works closely with local education authorities and specialist bodies. It offers advice both individually and through publications such as Design Note 10; and it supports research. The provision of equipment in special schools is a matter for local education authorities and the governors of such schools.
