Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Gillian Keegan and Luke Evans

Monday 26th April 2021 Commons Chamber

[Gillian Keegan]

I have had many representations from MPs in the hon. Gentleman’s area, not least my hon. Friend the Member for Penistone and Stocksbridge (Miriam Cates). As I said, the structure and prospects appraisal began on 21 April. Membership of the steering group includes representatives of the college governing body, the interim FE Commissioner, the deputy FE Commissioner, senior officers from the two combined authorities and the Education and Skills Funding Agency. The FE Commissioner’s team has made contact with all local MPs and I have offered a call with all local MPs. We are committed to work in good faith to ensure that we look seriously at the options for Northern College.

[Dr Luke Evans (Bosworth) (Con)]

What progress he has made on ensuring that there is an effective end-of-year assessment process for school students in 2021.
