Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, on what date in December 2022 he expects to publish the final report of the Academies Regulation and Commissioning Review.

The work of the Academies Regulation and Commissioning Review continues and aims to report back later this year. The Review, informed by the External Advisory Group and close engagement with sector representatives, will recommend short and medium-term steps. These will ensure a schools system, in which all schools are part of strong Multi Academy Trusts, is underpinned by a regulatory and commissioning approach that will drive quality at scale, command the confidence of parents and support improved outcomes for children.
