HC Deb 31 July 1998 vol 317 c805W
Mrs. May

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what date has been set for publication of the Government's proposals on special educational needs following the recent consultation exercise on the Government's paper, "Excellence for All Children". [54040]

Mr. Charles Clarke

A date has not yet been set. Taking account of the many thoughtful comments on "Excellence for all Children", and of advice from the National Advisory Group on special educational needs, we expect to publish an action programme in the early autumn.
