answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>My department is responsible for Section 507b of the 1996 Education Act that states that: “every local authority in England must, so far as reasonably practicable, secure for qualifying young persons in the authority’s area access to sufficient educational and recreational activities.”</p><p> </p><p>During the last eight years no one has sought to make the case to me or my Department that any local authority is in formal breach of this duty. The guidance, which sets out how this this statutory duty could be discharged, has not been revised since 2012 and in the Civil Society Strategy published last August we committed to review it. We will make a further announcement about our plans to do that in due course.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 04/03/2019 14:58:39 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
