Multi-academy Trusts: Pay
Asked by: Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse) Tuesday 8th September 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department has made an estimate of how many multi-academy trusts currently offer executive salaries above £174,000. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) Academy trusts report pay information through their annual accounts returns using £10,000 salary bandings. The latest available annual accounts return data for the 2024/25 academic year states that 276 academy trusts reported pay exceeding £170,000. As set out in the 2026 academy trust handbook, from 1 October 2026, for new appointments within academy trusts where remuneration exceeds £174,000, or the pro rata equivalent for part-time staff, or performance-related pay above £25,000, approval from the department must be obtained before the post is advertised. The handbook is also clear that executive remuneration must not increase at a faster rate than that of the academy trust’s teachers. |

Re-employment
Asked by: Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse) Tuesday 8th September 2026 Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to a) understand and b) reduce the impacts to workers of employers engaging in fire and rehire practices ahead of the Employment Rights Act restrictions taking effect in 2027. Answered by Kate Dearden - Minister of State (Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade) The government is delivering reforms to tackle unscrupulous fire and rehire practices. Employers will be deemed to have automatically unfairly dismissed an employee if they unilaterally change certain core terms and conditions, including reductions in pay or leave, changes to working hours or pension arrangements, and specified changes to shift patterns.
We recently consulted on the scope of restricted variations for expenses, benefits in kind and shift patterns. The government will publish a response and make regulations in due course. Analysis of fire and rehire practices has been published as part of the Enactment Impact Assessment for these measures, and an Options Assessment for the recent consultation. |

Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) To reflect the vision the government set out for the trust system in the ‘Every Child Achieving and Thriving’ White Paper, the department will be publishing new Trust Standards, including a pillar focused on community, and commissioning guidance to reflect this policy and support consistent, transparent decision-making later this year. |

Asked by: Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse) Wednesday 16th September 2026 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what progress he has made on the expansion of the provision of Specialist Domestic Abuse Courts. Answered by Alex Davies-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice) This Government is committed to enhancing support for victims of domestic abuse and improving the criminal court’s response to domestic abuse cases. In our Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy, the Government committed to rolling out Domestic Abuse Protection Orders – our strongest order yet for domestic abuse - across England and Wales. We are also introducing a domestic abuse identifier at sentencing in criminal cases to enable police, prisons and probation to more consistently identify domestic abuse offenders. This Government has also made trauma-informed training available to all HMCTS court staff, helping them to better understand domestic abuse and apply trauma-informed practice in their interactions with victims. We are actively considering how to expand the use of Specialist Domestic Abuse Courts in the criminal division as part of our wider work to improve outcomes for victims of domestic abuse, in response to recommendations made by the Independent Sentencing Review. |
