§ Mr. PicklesTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what plans she has to give school governors the power to remove a fellow governor for(a) unruly behaviour and (b) behaviour likely to bring the school into disrepute. [41120]
§ Mr. TimmsExisting regulations allow for the removal of appointed governors by their appointing authority, but there is no provision for the removal of elected governors as they hold a mandate from their electorate. We have no immediate plans to extend the current removal powers, but we will be consulting on new regulations later in the year, and inviting representations on how current provisions can be improved.
