HC Deb 10 July 1990 vol 176 c184W
65. Mr. Ashley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he last reviewed the educational provisions for deaf and blind children.

Mr. Alan Howarth

The Department wrote to all local education authorities in England on 18 May 1990, asking for their views on the education of deaf-blind children and what provision they made at present for such education. This survey follows up the policy statement on the education of deaf-blind children which the Department published in March 1989.
