Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 July 2024

Debate

Education and Opportunity

Contribution

I commend the hon. Lady for what she has said. She is right to focus on SEND. In the press last week, it was indicated that if children who have autism have early diagnosis and treatment, and an education system put in place, the autism, no matter how severe, can be reduced to a level that means that the child can have an education and a job. If we get it right early, we prepare that child for the future.
