Baroness David

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have any plans to consolidate the statute law of education.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Education and Science (Baroness Hooper)

Consolidation of enactments is normally a matter, in England and Wales, for the Law Commission. Preliminary discussions with the Commission with a view to the consolidation of the Education Acts following the enactment of the Education Reform Bill currently before Parliament have taken place.
