Lucy Powell (Manchester Central) (Lab/Co-op)
Will the hon. Gentleman give way?
Dr Huppert
I will take these two interventions and then try to finish my speech. I will take the hon. Lady’s intervention first.
Lucy Powell
The hon. Gentleman has been very generous with his time. I agree entirely with his point about computer facilities. I met my constituent Suzannah last week. She suffers from autism and described to me exactly what the hon. Gentleman is saying, but she also said that the desire for students to use banks of computers is not appropriate for those with autism and other problems, who find public areas too distracting and too difficult to work in.
