00:05past Labour MPs when lots of them have got inboxes pouring with messages from families
00:11desperately worried about this situation? Well, the Education Society speaks passionately about
00:15trying to, you know, her desire to improve, send children for those with special needs.
00:19But we all know this is really about money. And you were, you know, hinting at that and trying
00:24to prod on that. And that is correct. You know, it's £15 billion a year. It's doubled in five

00:44to be let without the necessary help? And that is a crucial question for Labour MPs who will
