Mr. Robert Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for Education (1) what measures he is taking to ensure that the timetable for organising grant-maintained status ballots is sufficient for consultation purposes; and if he will make a statement;

(2) if he will take measures to ensure that the distribution of ballot papers on grant-maintained status occurs at the end of the consultation period rather than the middle;

(3) if he will draw up a code of conduct to cover all those involved in the organisation of ballots and consultations on grant-maintained status.

Mr. Robin Squire

The Education Bill will streamline the procedures for acquiring grant-maintained status. Both the existing and prospective statutory provisions offer scope for local consultation and debate before a ballot on grant-maintained status is initiated, in the period prior to a ballot and during the ballot period itself. Individual governing bodies are best placed to determine the most appropriate timing for a ballot in their school's circumstances, within the statutory time scale.

The Department provides detailed guidance on the conduct of ballots and any significant deviation from that may lead to the Secretary of State declaring the ballot void. We are currently discussing with local authority interests the promulgation of a common code of conduct on the provision of information about grant-maintained status; this would cover the activities of the Department, local authorities and the grant-maintained schools centre.
