answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2017 answer text <p>The position of ‘Disability Commissioner’ was not a statutory one, and there was no requirement for the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to put proposals about discontinuing it to Ministers. Following a period of consideration and discussion and the winding up of the statutory Disability Committee on 31 March 2017 under the Equality Act 2006 (Dissolution of the Disability Committee) Order 2014 (SI No.406), the Board of the EHRC decided to abolish the role of ‘Disability Commissioner’ at its meeting on 11 May 2017. We will, however, ensure that disabled people continue to be represented on the EHRC.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 03/11/2017 12:08:15 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2016 answer text <p>This Government is committed to educational excellence everywhere. The new powers in the Education and Adoption Bill are designed to help raise standards in underperforming areas such as Bradford, ensuring all failing maintained schools become academies with strong sponsors, and coasting schools are challenged to improve.</p><p>The Regional Schools Comissioner has already prioritised Bradford for the Northern Fund and brought two new sponsors into the area.</p><p>We have also significantly expanded School Direct and Teach First, to ensure schools in Bradford have access to high-quality teachers. The new National Teaching Service, which will place outstanding teachers and middle leaders into schools which most need additional support to improve their teaching, will begin with a pilot later this year; Bradford will be one of the areas eligible to participate in this pilot.</p><p>I recently had the pleasure of being able to see some of the excellent work that is already being done to raise standards in Bradford, when I visited the outstanding Beckfoot School in Bingley, where 46% of pupils achieve the E-Bacc combination of core academic GCSEs.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 07/03/2016 18:10:30 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
