West Dorset has seen a 134% increase in the number of children requiring SEN support in the last six years. As of the latest data, more than 275 children are waiting for education, care and health plan assessments, with the average waiting time well in excess of the 20-week statutory limit. Will the Minister outline what specific measures the Department is implementing to ensure that the much-needed £1 billion investment announced in the Budget is used to bring down waiting times for EHCPs in places such as West Dorset?

Schools are closing across inner London, and across London more widely, for various reasons, leaving premises empty or at risk of being sold off. What strategic oversight is the Secretary of State taking to ensure that we get the best value for our children from these properties?

There has been a lot of discussion about our record in government. Under the Conservatives, England climbed international educational league tables, but what happened to Labour-run Wales? It fell. Under the Conservatives, youth unemployment went down and school standards improved —that is the record of the Conservative Government, which we are proud to defend. Does the Secretary of State agree that academisation was one of the driving forces behind that very good school improvement?

The problem that we have is that while we are learning the lessons of our defeat, the Government are failing to learn from our brilliant record on school standards. Results improved, more schools were “good” or “outstanding”, but now the party in government is trying to undermine one part of the basis for that success. Why is the Secretary of State scrapping the academy conversion support grant when it was such a push behind improving school standards?

News of the impact of last week's Budget on schools was greeted with relief in Bury North. The Derby high school is a top-performing school, but its main building dates back to 1959 and faces critical issues. It was due for renewal under Labour's Building Schools for the Future programme but was ignored during the 14 years of the Tories. Will the Minister meet me and the school's leadership team to discuss the urgent need for refurbishment funds?

I noted the Minister's answer to the hon. Member for Dulwich and West Norwood (Helen Hayes), but will she clarify whether the £1 billion announced in the Budget last week for SEND goes to new expenditure? What will the Government do about the statutory override that is preventing local authorities from going bust, with a total of nearly £4 billion owing?

What does the extra funding outlined for children in the Budget mean for the growing number of foster children and children who need foster care?

The teachers and staff at Hornsea school do a fantastic job for their pupils despite poor building conditions. Given the Chancellor's commitment of £1.4 billion to continue the school rebuilding programme in last week's Budget, will you prioritise Hornsea school?

My constituency has some brilliant further education colleges but some students struggle with repeated retakes. Will the Minister consider how the process could be done better so that these students do not feel like failures?

Many nurseries raise serious concerns about SEND provision. Will Ministers commit to an urgent review of SEND in the early years to address these issues?

Will the Secretary of State visit Burnley with me to meet representatives from Burnley college about their expansion plans?

Stramongate nursery school is facing closure. Will the Secretary of State pay attention to this issue to ensure children and parents are protected?

Will the Minister meet me to discuss specific investment needed for my constituency's growing population?

Will the Minister meet me and representatives from Buckton Fields school to discuss their £45,000 budget shortfall?

Does the Secretary of State agree with the commissioner that decisive Government action is required to improve educational attainment and opportunity?

Will the Minister meet me to discuss introducing mandatory requirements for schools to have allergy and anaphylaxis plans?

Will the Minister meet me to discuss the serious repair issues facing St Nicolas and St Mary primary school?

Will the Secretary of State acknowledge, as the right hon. Baroness Smith of Basildon has in the other place, that concerns around freedom of speech and academic freedom in our universities are not a botched culture war but a serious matter that needs to be addressed properly?

In my constituency, children who live less than 3 miles from school either walk an hour and a half to and from school or their struggling families must find the money for their transport. Will the Minister meet me to talk about this and see whether the 3-mile limit can be changed?

If the Government are as committed as they say they are to ensuring that most children with special educational needs and disabilities receive a mainstream education, what will they do to ensure that teacher training meets children's needs?

How will my right hon. Friend ensure that children with special and complex needs are incorporated into the child poverty strategy?

What steps is the Department taking to address that?

Will the Secretary of State please confirm how those extra teachers, including specialist teachers, will be recruited, and how issues such as workload, working conditions and support for training and development of new and existing teachers and school support staff will be addressed?
