Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Derek Twigg (Labour) on Monday, 21 January 2008 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
School Places
- Question
- What discussions he has had with the Essex local education authority on provision of school places for the children of personnel to be stationed in super garrisons with reference to recommendation 5 of the Defence Committee report on educating service children (HC(2005-06) 1054); and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
Although Colchester has been identified as a potential super-garrison, it is too early for any firm decision on that. Regardless of that, the Ministry of Defence and Essex local authority officials continue to discuss schooling for the children of Colchester garrison. Paragraphs 6 and 7 of the Government response to the Select Committee on Defence inquiry responded to recommendation 5 and made our position clear.
