I thank the Chair, the Minister, the shadow Minister and all hon. Members for their contributions. I cannot do them justice in such a short time, but I hope that this issue will continue to command cross-party and cross-regional support. I just want to talk about the so-called “over-energetic” child, who faces exclusion for consistent poor behaviour. I want to see that child get access to the diagnosis and support that they need to stay in school and flourish, and to support our struggling families. As one mum told me: “I didn’t want to have to become a lawyer; I just wanted to be a loving mum”. I thank hon. Members very much for the debate today. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered SEND provision in the east of England.
