Question:

127 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Education and Science if the Task Force on Autism has reported; if all those who have made a submission to the task force will receive copies of both the interim and final reports of the group; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3442/01]

Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods):

I understand that the Task Force on Autism is nearing the completion of its work and I expect to receive its report in late February or early March 2001.

It is my intention that the report of the task force will be made available to all relevant parties, including those who made submissions to the task force.
