HC Deb 31 October 2001 vol 373 c713W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what representations have been received on the most recent SEN code document. [111291]

Mr. Timms

A draft special educational needs code of practice was laid before Parliament on 20 June. It was withdrawn in response to comments from members of both Houses, many on behalf of parents or parents' groups, in particular about the draft guidance on quantifying the provision in children's statements of special educational needs.

A revised draft addressing those concerns was placed before Parliament for approval on 23 October. The further revision has been widely welcomed.
