Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what recent estimate she has made of the proportion of pupils attending integrated schools in Northern Ireland.

The Government is committed to supporting shared and integrated education in Northern Ireland, as demonstrated by the £500 million dedicated funding allocated under the Stormont House and Fresh Start Agreements.

However, as education is a devolved matter, an estimate of the proportion of pupils attending integrated schools in Northern Ireland should rightly be sought from the devolved Department for Education.
