Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is his estimate for 1982–83 of public expenditure in Wales on education for handicapped pupils; and what increase in real terms there has been on this spending over the past three years.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Information on which to base any estimate of total expenditure in providing education for handicapped pupils in Wales is not available.

Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he has taken to ensure that acceptable minimum levels of education provision for handicapped pupils are available in Wales.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Formal inspections by, and the day to day activities of, Her Majesty's Inspectorate help to ensure that there are acceptable levels of educational opportunity open to handicapped pupils in Wales.
