The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Lord Strathclyde)
My Lords, there is a general courtesy in the House that we allow the bishops to take priority at Question Time.
The Lord Bishop of Ripon and Leeds
My Lords, will the Green Paper to which the Minister referred include proposals to make it easier for schools to obtain funding for structural alterations, in order that children with special educational needs can attend and play a full part in the life of those schools?
Lord Hill of Oareford
The Green Paper to which I referred is a very pale shade of green at the moment. It will be brought forth in the autumn. I invite the right reverend Prelate to feed his views into the review and into the Green Paper; I am sure that we can take them into account.
