Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of the budget of the Office of the Children's Commissioner was spent on administration in each of the last five years.

The matter of the Office for the Children’s Commissioner’s budget, and the proportion of it spent on administration in each of the last five years, is for the Office for the Children’s Commissioner, which is independent.

I have asked the Office for the Children’s Commissioner to write to you in response to this question and to place a copy of the letter in the House of Commons Library.
