Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when legislation will be introduced to bring the education of handicapped children under the jurisdiction of his Department; and if he will take steps to incorporate the pay and conditions of qualified teachers of the mentally handicapped into those of other qualified teachers.

As soon as possible. I am consulting interested bodies on major questions affecting staff.
