Schools: Closures
Asked by: Steff Aquarone (Liberal Democrat - North Norfolk) Tuesday 17th March 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of delaying decisions on school closures until after the 2026 local elections in relevant local authorities. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) The department has not made such an assessment. However, in line with the Cabinet Office May 2026 elections guidance, during the three weeks preceding local authority elections the department takes special care in relation to announcements, including academy closures, and other public actions which could have a bearing on the elections. Local authorities are the decision makers for proposals to close maintained schools. Local authorities are subject to their own restrictions when elections are taking place.

Electronic Government: Reviews
Asked by: Steff Aquarone (Liberal Democrat - North Norfolk) Wednesday 18th March 2026 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what progress has been made implementing the recommendations of the State of Digital Government Review since its publication in January 2025. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) Since January 2025, the Government has united digital, data, and AI teams into one centre to tackle identified systemic blockers to transformation. Government has also launched the GOV.UK app, the digital HM Armed Forces Veteran Card, and 13.2 million people have now proven their identity using the single sign-on system OneLogin. In January 2026, the Government published ‘A Roadmap for Modern Digital Government’, its plan to make government more user-focused, efficient and resilient to deliver better outcomes for the public and the economy. It provides a public-facing, whole-of-government commitment to digital transformation and holds departments accountable for progress, updates on which will be regularly published. |

Government Departments: Digital Technology
Asked by: Steff Aquarone (Liberal Democrat - North Norfolk) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what progress has been made in increasing the number of digital and data professionals in the civil service. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) In April 2025, the Prime Minister made the commitment that one in 10 civil servants will work in technology and digital roles by 2030. When like-for-like roles are compared over the 6-months from April to October 2025, the digital workforce has grown by 0.3% of the civil service - from 4.9% to 5.2%. However, for the first time, we are now also able to report on cyber and other digital roles (the majority of which are included in the one in 10 definition), which uplifts the October figure to 5.7% The next workforce commission will take place in April 2026, in which we hope to see further growth. |

Breakfast Clubs
Asked by: Steff Aquarone (Liberal Democrat - North Norfolk) Tuesday 24th March 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether Specialist Resource Bases and Alternative Provisions are eligible for funding from the free breakfast clubs scheme. Answered by Olivia Bailey - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities) All state-funded schools with primary aged pupils, including those with specialist units, special schools and alternative provision schools, are in scope for the free breakfast clubs programme. Through the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, all state-funded schools with primary-aged pupils will be required to offer a free breakfast club and will be funded to do so. We are undertaking national roll out of free breakfast clubs to these schools in phases, with 2,000 starting in the 2026/2027 financial year. We will share details regarding how schools can join the programme in future years, in due course.
