Dr. Cable

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what decision he has reached on whether statements of special needs will(a) specify or (b) otherwise set out assistance from a local authority in the proposed code and regulations on special needs.[138324]

Jacqui Smith

We are considering the broad range of representations received to these and other issues relating to the draft revised code and proposed amendments to the regulations. We will decide shortly on the appropriate final wording in the Code of Practice to underpin our determination to achieve both clarity and specificity, as has always been our intention.
