Autism Bill

Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 27 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Autism Bill.
A number of us attended a useful meeting with the Minister earlier this week, and we trust that he has the personal commitment that he says he has. However, the history of the thing, as he has acknowledged, including in The Observer, is not a happy one. Promises have been made in the past and not delivered. That is why we need a law. He is a Minister, but who knows what may happen in future? We know all the vagaries, but if we have a law, we have to do what it says.
