Sir Alan Campbell
We have legislated through the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 to protect renters in England, but as my hon. Friend says, housing is a devolved matter. I hope the Scottish Government will take action on his concerns; if not, I am sure he will continue to find ways to keep raising this issue until a resolution is found.
Clive Jones (Wokingham) (LD)
Schools across Wokingham are struggling to support pupils with special educational needs and disabilities because funding is not keeping pace with rising demand. As budgets come under pressure, teaching assistants are often the first to go. I know the Leader of the House has been asked this many times before, but will he make time for a debate on properly funding SEND reform and support in schools?
Sir Alan Campbell
As the hon. Gentleman knows, the current system is widely regarded as having been broken, and the Government are committed to bringing forward legislation on these matters. When we do so, there will be ample opportunity for the hon. Gentleman to raise his specific concerns. On the wider issue, more money is going into schools, but I appreciate that in some cases, the budgets are pretty tight.
