§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what recommendations of the Warnock report on special educational needs have already been implemented; and what recommendations have been accepted in principle but are not yet implemented in practice.
§ Mr. Mark CarlisleI refer the hon. Member to the statement I made on the Warnock Report on 3 March. The Warnock Report is essentially developmental in character with short and longer-term recommendations of both a specific and general nature variously addressed to central and local government and the different professions involved in aspects of special education. It is not possible to quantify the progress made on each of the 225 recommendations, some of which emanated from examples of existing good practice.
