Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Charlie Dewhirst and Catherine McKinnell

Monday 9th September 2024 Commons Chamber

[Charlie Dewhirst (Bridlington and The Wolds) (Con)]

T3. As was alluded to by my right hon. Friend the Member for Beverley and Holderness (Graham Stuart), children with special educational needs and disabilities in some urban local authorities receive three times more funding than they do in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Will the Secretary of State or her Minister meet me and East Riding colleagues, so that we can secure a fairer future for our local children?

[Catherine McKinnell]

The Secretary of State has set out extensive responses to extensive questions on the inherited challenges in the SEND system. We recognise the issues that the hon. Gentleman raised, and will be happy to meet him and his colleagues around his local authority area to discuss this further.
