Speaker’s Statement

Contribution

Before we begin, I wish to make a short statement about the House’s sub judice resolution. There is a question on the Order Paper concerning special educational needs and disabilities provision. There are legal proceedings relating to the policy of applying VAT to private schools, and relating in particular to SEND provision. These cases concern a matter that is currently before the House and of national importance. I am therefore exercising my discretion to allow reference to these cases now and in future proceedings.
