If the hon. Lady writes to me on that point, I will certainly take it up with the Ministry of Justice on her behalf.

The Collective Spirit Free School in my constituency has closed, displacing 200 pupils. We have had an Adjournment debate on this, and I have met the Minister for School Standards, the regional schools commissioner and the National Audit Office, while we have also asked written questions and put in FOI requests, yet the Government still refuse to release the internal audit report on its financial probity and where the money eventually went. May we have a debate in Government time on the oversight of academies, free schools and university technical colleges?

The hon. Gentleman raises a specific point about a school in his constituency, which would be highly appropriate for an Adjournment debate.
