Business question from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 March 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
My constituent, Declan Turner, who is dyslexic, achieved nine A to C grades at GCSE. Despite that, because he did not achieve the same in English, he is precluded from progressing to a level 3 apprenticeship. The local Stephenson college has been very helpful, but policy change is needed by EMTA Awards Ltd. It is one of many such problems that dyslexic students encounter. Can we have a debate on dyslexia and the Government's plans, priorities and resources for tackling the discrimination and injustice that is still the daily lot with which many people have to grapple on a continuing basis?
