Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many meetings he had with his Department’s Chief Scientific Adviser between 1 January and 31 March 2018.
The department did not have a Chief Scientific Adviser between 1 January and 31 March 2018. During this period we conducted a review of analysis and considered whether the department required a Chief Scientific Adviser in addition to a Chief Analyst as part of that review. The Chief Scientific Adviser was appointed on 3 April 2018.
