HC Deb 17 May 1999 vol 331 c242W
Mr. Keetch

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what recent guidance has been given to colleges of further education concerning the attendance of members of the governing body; and if he will make a statement. [R] [84385]

Mr. Mudie

Further Education Corporations are required by their instrument of government to hold meetings at least once in each term. They may remove any governor from office who fails to attend meetings over a period of six months without their permission. The Further Education Funding Council will be issuing comprehensive new guidance for governors later this year.
