Written answers

My Department has recently received from the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel to the Government a draft set of regulations which are intended to govern admission to schools under the Education Act 1998. The purpose of these proposed regulations is to promote greater consistency, transparency and accountability in decision making at school level and to further the objective, under the Education Act, of equality and participation in education.

The draft regulations are currently being circulated within my Department for examination and discussion. Once they have been agreed my Department will engage in talks with the partners in education. Following the conclusion of this process, the regulations will be returned to the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel for final drafting.
