Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) how many children within the Humberside area have been diagnosed as autistic and in need of special educational provision;

(2) what provisions exist within the county of Humberside for the education of autistic children; and what further provisions are planned;

(3) how many autistic children from Grimsby are currently being educated in other educational authority areas.

The latest information provided by the authority is that three autistic children from Humberside, including one from Grimsby, attend independent boarding schools out- approved by Parliament in 1976; and what was the amount of grant for each organisation.

Mr. Oakes
