Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will take steps to require the Joint Council for Qualifications to ensure that all exam regulatory boards action requests for a name change following marriage.

This is a matter for Ofqual, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation. I have asked its Chief Regulator, Sir Ian Bauckham, to write to my hon. Friend, the Member for South Derbyshire directly and a copy of his reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
