Children and Families Bill

Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 November 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Children and Families Bill.

I think it would be helpful if I reminded the Committee that provisions in the Bill do not change any arrangements. If it is found to be cost-effective to send a child overseas as part of the EHC plan, no doubt that will be done. However, as the noble Baroness explained, that will be an extremely expensive option and therefore will be most unusual.
