§ 20. Mr. Tom ClarkeTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans he has for the future of conductive education in this country.
§ Mr. ButcherConductive education in Hungary is closely linked to the Hungarian system of education. It is, therefore, important for the approach to be tried out in the context of our education system. For that reason we are funding the evaluation of the experimental conductive education project in Birmingham. In time we would like to see conductive education added to the range of options available to disabled children in this country.
