§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for Education when he received an application from the Muslim Girls community school in Bradford for voluntary-aided status; what further information he requires about the application before reaching a decision; when he expects to announce a decision; and if he will intake a statement.
§ Mr. Robin SquireWe have received no such application. Because of the Secretary of State's role in these matters, it is not appropriate to comment on any proposals which may come before him for decision.
