Mrs Lewell-Buck
I thank the Minister for eventually giving way. He said that I had let myself down by making this issue political. I respectfully say that he is letting me and other hon. Members down. I listed a litany of failures by this Government towards children with speech, language and communication needs, and not once—
Ms Nadine Dorries (in the Chair)
Order. Mrs Lewell-Buck, please make an intervention, not a speech.
Mrs Lewell-Buck
Sorry. Not once has the Minister responded with anything practical. All he says is, “In the future we will”. What about now? This is urgent.
Ms Nadine Dorries (in the Chair)
I call the Minister. Please remember to leave a minute for Ms Pow to wind up the debate.
