HC Deb 18 July 1978 vol 954 c158W
Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will give consideration to abolishing the term "educationally subnormal".

Miss Margaret Jackson

This is one of a number of changes recommended by the Warnock Committee, on which my Department and the Welsh Office, together with other interested Departments, will shortly be undertaking extensive consultations. The Government propose to await the outcome of the consultations before reaching decisions.
