Will the Leader arrange a debate on the timing of debates? It was deeply ironic that yesterday on the same day we debated the welcome initiative relating to children's rights, we also debated the outrageous cuts to the number of SNAs for children with special needs. It is wrong that on the one hand the Government is speaking forcefully about the rights of children while, on the other, it is cutting services to vulnerable children.
