To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans he has to take on further consultants and service providers for intervention work in local education authorities. [108317]

Ms Estelle Morris

We will shortly be advertising for organisations interested in providing consultancy support and delivering education services in the event of intervention in local education authorities. This will include extending the remit of the work undertaken by consultants to provide a wide range of general management consultancy and advice. Advertisements will appear in the national press and specialist press from 2 February.
