§ Mr. Jim CunninghamTo ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans she has for initiatives to encourage colleges to provide learning support and specialist advice for people with physical disabilities.
§ Mr. BoswellThere are already comprehensive provisions in the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 to ensure that the Further Education Funding Council and Local Education Authorities take into account the support and advice needs of students with learning difficulties and disabilities. Nevertheless, the Government are committed to reviewing the provisions for SLDD in further education in the light of their new policies on disability. In doing so, the Government will look at the availability of advice to people with disabilities.
