Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 24 March 2026 to Question 117722, whether her Department will consider collecting data on coaches and minibuses owned by schools, including which schools own minibuses and the number of minibuses owned by each school.

The department currently has no plans to collect data on the number of coaches and minibuses owned by schools, but the Academy Trust Handbook requires academy trusts to maintain a fixed asset register.

The department collects data on the value of motor vehicles held by trusts, but not the number or type of vehicles.
