HC Deb 28 October 1987 vol 121 c256W
Mr. Bowis

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps are being taken by the Government to provide or encourage the provision of conductive education for children with motor disorders; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dunn

My right hon. Friend has agreed to provide grant assistance of £326,000 to enable Birmingham university to carry out a research evaluation of the conductive education project being established in Birmingham by the Foundation for Conductive Education. In the Government's view, it would be preferable to await the outcome of this assessment before coming to any decisions about wider provision of conductive education for children with motor disorders.
