<p>I refer the Lord Storey to the answer to parliamentary question HL6799, submitted
to Parliament on 14 March 2016, which states that:</p><p>“Some local authorities maintain
voluntary registers of children educated at home but as they have no statutory basis,
they cannot be regarded as an authoritative source of data.”</p><p>We continue to
receive representations from local authorities and other stakeholders on this subject,
but at present the responsibilities of parents and local authorities remain as in
previous years.</p>
