Lords ChamberMy Lords, specific learning disabilities are treated separately. In a working paper in 2005, where the British Dyslexia Association was part of the consultation group, the view then was that progress into higher education represented a major transition and that more adult-based assessments should therefore be used.
My Lords, would it be possible for the Minister to take this back? There are some concerns around equality and it would be worth readdressing this issue.
