Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

I cannot understand why the Every Disabled Child Matters campaign has not been in touch with me about this amendment, but I can fully understand that it has been handed to the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley. I am sure that all of us support the amendment. Speaking from first-hand experience, I know the great difficulties that disabled children have with communication and the enormous variety of support that is now available for those children. I only hope that the Government will accept the amendment or at least the spirit of it.
