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


Autism Bill

I have had lengthy discussions with my local education authority, primary care trust and other agencies. Specifically on providing local information and more effective support, which is outlined in the Minister's document, they have told me that having that provision on a statutory footing would set an obligation on them that they would have to fulfil. At present, it is a voluntary matter.
