Written Question
English Language: Education
Wednesday 25th January 2017

Asked by: Paul Scully (Conservative - Sutton and Cheam)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what information her Department holds on the number of people employed in English language colleges in each region and constituent part of the UK.

Answered by Robert Halfon

English language colleges are independent organisations that are responsible for their own staffing. My department does not hold any information on the numbers of people employed in such organisations in England.

As education is a devolved matter, any assessment of English language college’s staff numbers outside of England is a matter for the relevant devolved authorities.

Secondary School Places (London Borough of Sutton)

"I beg to move,

That this House has considered secondary school places in the London Borough of Sutton.
