Labour — Newcastle upon Tyne North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 October 2024

Debate

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Contribution

Although the urgent question today has come about because of a damning report from the National Audit Office, which lays bare the huge challenge we face in this area, my main purpose in responding—an opportunity I am grateful for—is to restore hope for families: it is a priority for this Government and we are determined to fix it. That should give hope to the constituents whom my hon. Friend serves.
