HC Deb 21 February 1990 vol 167 c802W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what allowances for special needs or handicapped children are being made under LMS in respect of the greater expense of welfare and ancillary help for these children; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

In line with the Government's statutory guidance on LMS, all LEAs have taken into account in their resource allocation formulae the variations between schools in the incidence of pupils with special educational needs.
