Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 27 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Autism Bill.


Autism Bill

I apologise, Madam Deputy Speaker, for not being here at the beginning of the debate. I have just come from one of my local primary schools, where the head teacher commented that the numbers of children being identified with conditions on the autistic disorder spectrum is growing, particularly among boys. There is therefore an absolute need for the provisions in the Bill, and we must get it into Committee.
