Proceeding contribution from Nick Hurd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Bercow Review.
Bercow Review
The Minister talks about the plans to invest more in speech and language therapy. The Government are spending some £63 million on education in young offender institutions. Research by Professor Karen Bryan and others indicates that perhaps two thirds of inmates of such institutions cannot access those programmes because of their learning difficulties and language skills. Can the Minister clarify how many full-time speech and language therapists are operating in those institutions, and what plans the Government have to increase that number?
