Helen Hayes

Labour — Dulwich and West Norwood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2024

Debate

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Contribution

What discussions is the Minister having with the Treasury and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government on a plan to prevent the end of the statutory override from becoming a cliff-edge financial calamity for local authorities and children with SEND?
