Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Claire Coutinho and Henry Smith

Monday 27th February 2023 Commons Chamber

[Henry Smith (Crawley) (Con)]

T7. I welcome Crawley schools’ funding being increased to a record £100 million for the coming financial year. Can my right hon. Friend say a little bit more about specific support for dyslexic pupils? I declare an interest as a vice-president of the British Dyslexia Association.

[Claire Coutinho]

My hon. Friend is passionate about securing an excellent education for all his residents. The funding will help many children in mainstream education, but with dyslexia early identification and teacher training is key. I will be setting out more details in the response to the special educational needs and disabilities and alternative provision Green Paper.
