Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether any departmental business has been conducted on private email addresses; and what mechanisms are in place to ensure that full records are kept of that business.

I refer the hon. Member to the Cabinet Office guidance to departments on the use of private emails, which is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-to-departments-on-private-email-use.
