§ Mr. Flanneryasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many unattached special education units have been established in England; and how many have more than 25 children on roll.
§ Dr. BoysonThis information is not available to my Department.
§ Mr. Flanneryasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he intends to include in the proposed legis- 542W lation on special education in England and Wales a requirement that special education units with more than 25 children on roll should be designated as schools; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. BoysonMy right hon. and learned Friend does not consider that the organisation of special education units is an appropriate matter for legislation. He will, however, in due course consider whether central guidance might usefully be given on this subject in the light of new legislation.
