answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2014 answer text <p>The regional schools commissioners (RSCs) have been involved in nine applications for new academies under the academy presumption (section 6A of the Education and Inspections Act 2006). RSCs do not make the decision about whether a new school is needed or not. This decision lies with the relevant local authority, and arises from the basic need for more pupil places. The RSCs’ role is limited to deciding who would be the best proposer to establish the new school.</p><p>In six cases the RSC approved the proposer recommended by the local authority. In three cases a different proposer was approved. In each case this decision was taken based on an assessment of the capacity, capability and performance of all proposers.</p><p>RSCs do not currently make decisions about free school applications.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 29/10/2014 17:54:54 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
