Rachel Gilmour (Tiverton and Minehead) (LD)
I thank my hon. Friend for securing this important debate. In my constituency, I recently held a roundtable discussions on the state of special educational needs and disabilities education—which we know is dire. Does my hon. Friend share my belief that we should be promoting opportunities in employment for autistic people —who we know can be among the sharpest minds—so that those in education have roles to work towards?
Karl Turner (in the Chair)
I remind Members that interventions are meant to be very short.
