HC Deb 20 January 1987 vol 108 c499W
17. Mrs. Clwyd

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will increase resources to implement the provisions on special education in the Education Act 1981.

Mr. Dunn

The Government's plans for local authority spending in 1987–88, announced last November, represent a cash increase of 18.8 per cent. over the 1986–87 plans. This will enable local education authorities to increase their spending on areas which they consider have priority, including special education.

58. Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will increase resources to implement the provisions on special education in the Education Act 1981.

Mr. Dunn

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave earlier today to the hon. Member for Cynon Valley (Mrs. Clwyd).
