Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussion he has had with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities, and Local Governments on the establishment of a cross-Government plan for supporting children with speech, learning, and communication needs.

The department is committed to supporting children and young people with speech, language and communication needs, as set out in our response to the ‘Bercow: Ten Years On’ review on 23 October 2018. A downloadable copy of the government response can be found here: https://www.bercow10yearson.com/. The department continues to engage with a range of government departments to reinforce this commitment.
