Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they will take in response to the recommendation in the report of the Education Commissioner published on 22 July into allegations concerning Birmingham schools that "unless there are genuinely exceptional circumstances, there should be a presumption that an individual will only be a governor at a maximum of two schools at any one time".

We are considering all the specific recommendations made in the report and the Secretary of State will return to the House of Commons in the autumn on steps to be taken on these matters.
