§ Mr. Ashleyasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) when she expects to receive the report on dyslexia from her Advisory Committee on Handicapped Children;
(2) if she will publish the report on dyslexia when it is received from the Advisory Committee;
(3) if she will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT the names of the sub-committee who prepared the report on dyslexia, the number of times they convened, and a list of the organisations and individuals who presented written or oral evidence;
(4) if she will prepare and circulate to all local education authorities a definition of dyslexia.
§ Mrs. ThatcherI received this report on 8th November, and having received the consent of the Committee propose to publish it. The report will itself show the composition of the sub-committee which the main Committee asked to study this question, and the details about the course of their inquiry for which the hon. Member asks. I need time to consider the report before deciding what further action to take.
