To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she told the academy in the Walsall North constituency that she was going to visit on 9 February 2015.

Mr Edward Timpson

Departmental officials organise official government business including visits. They would not be expected to be involved in arrangements with Prospective Parliamentary Candidates.

Rivers Primary Academy was first informed that the Secretary of State for Education was planning to visit on 5 February 2015. The arrangements were then made and confirmed on 6 February 2015, on which date the Department also alerted the hon. Member to the planned visit.
