Written question asked by David Laws (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 4 December 2007, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 6 December 2007. It was answered by Andy Burnham (Labour) on Tuesday, 11 December 2007 on behalf of the Treasury.


Delivery Unit: Academies

Question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer which academies have been (a) visited and (b) contacted as part of the Delivery Unit Review of Academies; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

The joint PMDU/DCSF review is studying progress across the full Academy programme. My Department considers that the release of the names of the Academies either visited or contacted by the review team would have an inhibiting effect on the free and frank discussions required in priority reviews and would disrupt our ability to meet our wider objectives, both in this review and in future PMDU work. PMDU reviews are confidential advice to Ministers; we do not disclose the recommendations or publish any report.
