HC Deb 08 February 1990 vol 166 c753W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the measures he has taken since 1979, and the initiatives he intends to take, to assist dyslexic children in Wales.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The Education Act 1981 imposes duties on all local education authorities to identify, assess and make appropriate provision for all children with special educational needs, including dyslexics. Under the Education Reform Act 1988 all children, including those with special educational needs, will follow the national curriculum as far as is practicable.
