To ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans her Department has to increase resourcing for the implementation of the special needs code of practice. [17217]

The grant for education support and training programme in England in 1994–95 includes support of £5.6 million to enable schools to develop their policies for special educational needs in the light of the code of practice, and support of £3.7 million to enable LEAs to develop local parent-partnership schemes as recommended in the code of practice. These figures will be increased respectively to £10.2 million and £4 million, in 1995–96.
