§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what measures he intends to take to help children who care for disabled or terminally ill relatives to attend school regularly.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsIt is for local education authorities to ensure that parents are fulfilling their statutory obligations as to their children's education. However, where special circumstances apply as when a child is involved in caring for infirm relatives, we would expect a local authority to consult as appropriate with any other agencies that are involved.
