Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to publish the consultation on the future of children's centres originally planned for July 2015.

The Prime Minister has been clear that tackling poverty and disadvantage, and delivering real social reform, will be a priority for this Government. We will consider future policy on children’s centres as part of this. We will provide further detail in due course and will make clear how stakeholders and members of the public can contribute.
