HC Deb 13 January 1981 vol 996 c490W
41. Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is satisfied that all local education authorities are carrying out their statutory duties in respect of the education of handicapped children.

Dr. Boyson

My right hon. and learned Friend has no evidence that local education authorities generally are failing to carry out their statutory duties. If the hon. Member has any particular area in mind, I shall be happy to investigate it if he will let me have details.
