Answer

The Ministry of Education (the Ministry) notified me that the Ministry that it would undertake consultation on proposed changes to its commercial arrangements for school property, in response to supplier feedback. At this stage, the Ministry is considering feedback from suppliers on this matter, and no decisions have been taken. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 29444 (2026), 29436 (2026), 29441 (2026), 29443 (2026), 29456 (2026).
