HC Deb 08 July 1986 vol 101 c140W
60. Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what response he has had to the draft consultative document on the education of deaf-blind children.

Mr. Dunn

A number of responses have been received and are being considered. However many of the bodies who were consulted have been unable to meet the original deadline of June 16, and so this was extended until July 4 in order to allow the widest possible range of comments to be considered.
