| 6 May 2025 | Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 864) “Absolutely. I have one final question. You mentioned drama there. Drama, food tech and other subjects are 60% coursework, with 40 to 60 hours of coursework or practical work and then 40% written exam, which is usually a one and a half hour paper. Is there any scope to review that balance, reduce the length of the exam …” | 70 |
| 6 May 2025 | Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 864) “That makes sense, but I take away from that that we should look at whether that percentage should be reviewed. Thank you.” | 22 |

| 29 Apr 2025 | Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 492) “I only have one question. The age at which young people transition from education, health and care services tends to be between 16 and 25. For most it is 18 but those with EHC plans can transition anywhere up to the age of 25. The County Councils Network and the local government authority have both called for the stand…” | 89 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 492) “Speaking about early intervention, I wanted to ask Janet about a couple of programmes that the Government have invested money in. What impact do you think they have had? The first is the early language support for every child programme or project and the second is the Nuffield Early Language Intervention project. Do yo…” | 72 |

| 27 Apr 2025 | SEND Provision “I recently met a constituent at my surgery whose son has missed out on more than 800 hours of education.
