§ 94. Mr. Skinnardasked the Minister of Education whether he is satisfied that the terms of the Amending Regulations for Handicapped Pupils and School Health Service No. 2, 1949, will ensure that in all cases a return is made by education authorities of the numbers and categories of educationally sub-normal and physically handicapped children attending ordinary council schools; and what special facilities are being provided for them.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThese Regulations relate to the School Health Service and do not prescribe or cancel any return about handicapped pupils. I am, however, proposing to call for a new annual return for each category of handicapped pupils showing the number in special schools and the outstanding number awaiting places. This will include educationally sub-normal and physically handicapped children attending ordinary schools pending their admission to special schools.
