Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy whether he will commit to introducing legislation for post-19 special educational needs provision in the 2022-2027 mandate.

Answer:

I want every young person to have the opportunity to access skills and training opportunities and fulfil their potential. As you know, I have tasked officials to review the position in relation to both the provision, and the relevant legislation, and to bring forward recommendations. At that point I will be in a better position to confirm what can be delivered within this shortened mandate.
