The government today promised improved services for disabled children and their families, including the provision of more breaks for under-pressure parents. The children, young people and families minister, Parmjit Dhanda, made the pledge as he talked out a Tory backbench bill to give families with severely disabled children a new right to short breaks.

South West MP Gary Streeter is campaigning for families to be given the right to take short breaks from the stress of caring for disabled children.
