The Winchester & Chandler's Ford MP, who is vice-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Autism, will be on the panel for two oral evidence sessions which will take place in March.
The first session takes place on Tuesday (6 March 2012), and will hear from a range of witnesses, including parents, young people with autism, teachers and local authority representatives. The second session will take place on Tuesday 13th March and will hear from politicians including Children's Minister Sarah Teather, as well as academics and other autism professionals.
Mr Brine said: "These sessions provide a significant opportunity for us to hear concerns and suggestions from a variety of stakeholders, organisations and Ministers.
"I know from the thousands of doors I have knocked on over the past few years, not to mention the stacks of correspondence I receive on the subject, that this issue is very close to many families across Winchester & Chandler's Ford, and I would be delighted if as many local people as possible were able to take part in our inquiry, which will be submitted to Government in due course."
