Labour (Co-op) — Ipswich

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 December 2025

Debate

Pandemics: Support for People with Autism

Contribution

The hon. Lady is absolutely right that that had a huge impact on many autistic and vulnerable children, not least because of the lack of clear and consistent communication that I am outlining. I will not go into the issue of school closures—the Minister may touch on that in a moment—but of course they had a profound impact on all children, and we are seeing the effects of it.
