Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what new measures he intends to undertake to help dyslexic children in the schools of Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Sir Wyn Roberts

The benefits of the national curriculum, which has now been introduced into schools, will apply to all children, including, as far as is practicable, those with dyslexia.

Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) how many dyslexic children are educated in each of the counties of Wales; and if he will make a statement;

(2) how many specialist teachers of dyslexic children there are in each of the local education authorities of Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Sir Wyn Roberts

This information is not available centrally. The Education Act 1981 abolished the categorisation of children by particular disability.
