Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the answer of 5 February 2026, to Question 107711, on Department for Education: Public Appointments, if she will place in the Library (a) the correspondence to the Commissioner for Public Appointments and (b) the correspondence from the Commissioner.

The direct appointment process for non-executive board members was followed in full, in line with the guidance, including consultation with the Commissioner for Public Appointments. The rationale for the direct appointment has already been published on GOV.UK and therefore the basis for the appointment is already publicly available. The government does not consider it necessary to place the correspondence in the library.​
