Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Robin Swann and Bridget Phillipson

Monday 28th April 2025 Commons Chamber

[Bridget Phillipson]

My hon. Friend is entirely right: just days before the local elections, the comments of the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage) will have sent shivers down the spines of so many parents throughout the country. His comments were completely irresponsible and totally wrong. This Government are focusing on better outcomes for all children, including those with SEND.
