The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to update the statutory guidance on the Autism Act.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The House of Lords has established an Autism Act 2009 Committee, which is holding an inquiry to look at the Autism Act, the autism strategy, and the autism statutory guidance, and which will make recommendations to the Government by 30 November 2025. This will inform the Government’s future approach.
