§ Lord Gregsonasked Her Majesty's Government: When the Quinquennial Review Report of the Service Children's Education will be published. [HL128]
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Defence (Lord Bach)We are today placing a copy of the Service Children's Education (SCE) agency Quinquennial Review Report in the Library of the House. The review has examined the agency in detail and concluded that SCE is delivering a good service to parents and children and that, as a core component of military life overseas, the balance of 23WA advantage lies with it remaining part of the MoD. Agency status was judged to have delivered benefits and have the scope to continue doing so through the ongoing target-setting regime. The review identified a number of issues for further study and these will be taken forward by chief executive of SCE who has the responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the review's recommendations, most of which are specialist education issues.
