HC Deb 23 March 1979 vol 964 c129W
Mr. John Ellis

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she is satisfied with educational provision for disabled children in the constituency of Brigg and Scunthorpe.

Miss Margaret Jackson

Provision for the education of children suffering from any disability of mind or body is the responsibility of local education authorities. I understand that the Humberside local education authority is concerned to improve such provision in South Humberside, so far as resources allow. With the same qualification my Department would always consider sympathetically any building proposals which the authority decided to submit.
