HC Deb 03 November 1998 vol 318 c530W
Mr. Woolas

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans he has to issue guidance to local education authorities on education provision for children suffering from attention deficit disorder. [57605]

Mr. Charles Clarke

The Education Act 1996 and theDepartment's Code of Practice on the Identification and Assessment of Special Educational Needs advise local education authorities and schools on how to identify and provide for all children with special education needs. We have no plans to issue further guidance specifically about children suffering from attention deficit disorder.
