Asked by: David Winnick (Labour - Walsall North)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 10 June 2014 Official Report, column 74W, on Members: Correspondence, when he expects to send a substantive reply to the letter of 30 April 2014 from the hon. Member for Walsall North about admissions to Walsall Academy which was separate from the letter sent to the Chief Executive of the Education Funding Agency; and for what reason that Answer does not mention that there was separate correspondence on the subject.

Answered by Edward Timpson

My noble Friend, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Schools, responded to the hon. Member's other letter of 30 April about admission arrangements at Walsall academy on 16 June. On behalf of the Department I would like to apologise for the delay in answering this letter.

My reply of 10 June related to the letter with the reference (2014/0036207) quoted in the question.
