§ Mr. SteinbergTo ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans he has to ensure access to local education authority psychological services for further education students who have special educational needs and who need special examination arrangements for GCSE and A-level equal to that provided by local education authorities for students in sixth forms at schools.
§ Mr. FormanIt is for the Further Education Funding Council to decide how to secure such support services, including psychological services, as are needed by students with learning difficulties in the new further education sector, for which the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 provides. The council intends to issue guidance on this to colleges in due course.
