HC Deb 15 March 1977 vol 928 c148W
31. Mr. Hodgson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans her Department has for meeting the special needs of gifted children.

Miss Margaret Jackson

My right hon. Friend is considering how the special needs of these children may best be met. Her Majesty's Inspectorate is at present studying the problem, and it is hoped that a report will be available later this year. They will be inviting local education authorities to send representatives to a conference on this subject to be held in November.
