Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 1 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Special Educational Needs (Information) Bill.


Special Educational Needs (Information) Bill

Indeed. I agree. In fact, there is so much agreement this morning that there is almost no need to make some points. However, I hope that I have made some points that other Members have not made and that will be useful in promoting the Bill. We have to acknowledge the need for some special schools that are finely tuned to specific needs. We need inclusion units when children who are rightly in mainstream schools have behavioural problems and may need additional help. We also need the resources to back up that provision. I ask my hon. Friends on the Treasury Bench to support the Bill and to make sure that resources will be forthcoming so that every child, whatever their needs, is properly catered for in a civilised society.
