§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a list of all infant and junior schools in each local education authority which have integrated units for children with special needs, together with their funding requirements under local management of schools; and whether each integrated unit receives all of the funding allocated to it under the local management of schools formula.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsInformation on infants and junior schools with integrated units for children with special needs is not available centrally.
§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make it his policy to give local education authorities the statutory duty to provide places for pupils with special needs up to the age of 18 years at least.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsAt present local education authorities are required to secure the provision of suitable full-time education for pupils up to the age of 18, including those with special educational needs. For 16 to 18-year-olds, the Government intend that this duty will transfer to further education funding councils for England and Wales in a new independent further education sector. Our plans are set out in the White Paper "Education and Training for the 21st Century", Cm 1536.
§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many pupils with special needs were in schools and colleges, by year group, from five to 18 years in each of the last five years.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsInformation in respect of pupils with statements of special educational needs in schools is given in the table. Data on special needs by year group are not available. Local education authorities are not required to maintain statements for young people in colleges of furrther education.
Number of pupils in schools1 Number 1986–87 9,916 1987–88 11,549 1988–89 11,340 1989–90 10,965 1990–91 12,647 1 At January of each year.

§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a list of all secondary schools in each local education authority which have integrated units 5W or other provision for children with special needs, together with their funding requirements under local mangement of schools; and whether each integrated unit, or other provision, receives all of the funding allocated to it under the local management of schools formula.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsDetails on the secondary schools with LEA designated special classes and their respective LMS budgets are given in the table. Information on schools with integrated units for children with special needs is not held centrally. Formula funding under LMS is based on two key principles—that the resources available should be allocated to schools on a clear and objective basis related to their relative need to spend, and that schools' budgets should depend mainly on the numbers and ages of their pupils. Whether or not factors for integrated units or other provision are included in the formulae is for LEAs to decide. LEAs retain their responsibilities in respect of children with statements of special educational need.
