Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].


Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

I support the amendment. Again, I am somewhat surprised that we have not heard more details of this problem. In the considerable move that the Government have made to make available a range of digital hearing aids—although that has not gone quite as far as many of us would like—there is a particular priority for children. We are talking not just about aids but about very specialist trained teachers, for which there must be resources if these young people are to be kept included in our society.
