HC Deb 25 June 1980 vol 987 c197W
Mr. Hicks

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what instructions and guidance are given by his Department to local education authorities in respect of children who are both dyslectic and highly gifted; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Boyson

None. The educational needs of such children vary widely and it is for local education authorities to determine in the circumstances of each case how those needs may best be met.
