Since July 2011, my Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, has approved 175 transactions relating to land disposed of by academy trusts. He has rejected one case as he was not satisfied that the academy trust was receiving the best value from the proposed lease.

Many of these were leased back to local authorities, publicly funded education providers or not-for-profit organisations.
