HC Deb 01 December 1971 vol 827 c99W
44. Mr. James Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will now have a centre set up in the West of Scotland to deal with autistic children; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Monro

The education authorities in the West, who are primarily responsible, are considering whether children with autistic symptoms can best be catered for, as at present, in association with other handicapped children or, as the hon. Member suggests, apart from them.
