Written question asked by Graham Allen (Labour) on Friday, 16 December 2016, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 20 December 2016. It was answered by Nick Gibb (Conservative) on Friday, 23 December 2016 on behalf of the Department for Education.
School Standards and Framework Act 1998
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 14 December 2016 to Question 56128, whether she plans to repeal paragraph 4 of Schedule 22 of the Equality Act 2010 which exempts provisions of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 that relate to religious aspects of the appointment and dismissal of teachers.
- Answer
-
There are no plans to repeal paragraph 4 of Schedule 22 of the Equality Act.
As set out in my response to question 56128, we consider that the provisions in sections 60(4) and 60(5) of the School Standards and Framework Act comply with the EU Employment Equality Directive Article 4(2) and as such see no requirement to make any changes to the Equality Act in this respect.
