Baroness Bull (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 March 2026

Debate

Special Educational Needs: Dyscalculia

Contribution

My Lords, if I am within time—I look to the Lord Speaker—I wonder whether I could probe the noble Baroness on two of her answers. She said that the national inclusion standards would include numerical processing, but the key organising principles—the key areas of development—do not include numerical processing. Can she also help me understand this question of labelling? I do not think children want labels, but they do want diagnosis. There is no other area in life in which we would attempt to address a problem without having a full diagnosis of what that problem is.
