HC Deb 23 January 1995 vol 253 cc36-7W
Mr. David Porter

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what proposals she has to develop a national strategy for special needs students in the 16-plus age range to supply a national progression for them after statutory schooling; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Boswell

The Education Act 1993, the code of practice on the identification and assessment of special educational needs and the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 already provide a comprehensive framework for the progression of students with special educational needs from schools to post-16 education, training or employment.
