Labour (Co-op) — Manchester Central

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 January 2025

Debate

Business of the House

Contribution

Absolutely. This is an important issue, and the Government want autistic people to succeed in all aspects of their lives. The Government provided £4.3 million this financial year to improve services for autistic children, but clearly much more needs to be done, and done better and faster. I think that it would make an extremely good topic for a debate.
