§ Mr. WillisTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much has been spent on supporting parent governor representatives, including the costs of the e-mail network, website and conferences, since they were established. [100728]
§ Mr. MilibandSince the first parent governor representatives (PGRs) were elected in September 1999 we have provided £101,520 support for the integrated website and e-mail network and £87,475 for conferences. LEAs are also encouraged to provide financial support for PGRs because PGRs exist to represent the views of all parents on local authority overview and scrutiny committees and sub-committees dealing with education.
