Vikki Slade

Liberal Democrat — Mid Dorset and North Poole

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 June 2025

Debate

Spending Review 2025

Contribution

I declare an interest as a sitting councillor. Local government will be pleased to see an increase in spending and to have clarity but, alongside social care, we have no clarity on another area that will sink councils: the statutory override on special educational needs. That was promised time and again, and we were hanging our hats on having it today. Will the Chancellor tell us what is happening and can we give security to councils on special educational needs?
