Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.

Education and Skills Bill

I support this amendment. I have visited a number of special schools for children with special educational needs, and it was clear that there is a need for sufficient schools of this type around the country so that there is some choice for those who need this individual form of treatment. I do not see any signs of a diminishment of the need for these children to have that form of education. Under those circumstances, we should for the moment keep what we have got. I do not think we have the right answer yet, but the time for that will perhaps come a bit later when we are clearer about the future.
