answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2016 answer text <p>The department’s model articles of association for academy trusts provide several routes by which trustees (directors) can be removed from their post, in addition to the Companies Act 2006. There is no role for the Secretary of State in removing a director using the procedure set out in that Act.</p><p>When a director is removed from post, retires or resigns, the remaining directors must notify Companies House within 14 days, as required by the Act. There is no requirement to specify whether this was carried out using the procedure set out in the Act or using a different route. Separately, there is a requirement to notify the Secretary of State – via the Education Funding Agency – of the vacating or filling of the positions of chair of trustees, accounting officer and chief financial officer and all new appointments of trustees and members.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 29/06/2016 16:16:57 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
