Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, in which academy trusts have members been (a) elected and (b) selected.
The Department for Education does not collate centrally information on what arrangements academy trusts have for the election or appointment of members. The model articles of association for academy trusts set out the arrangements for the composition of the members. Members may be appointed by a foundation or sponsor body, or by a special resolution of the existing members.
