    Adrian Sanders – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Adrian Sanders on 2014-03-31.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make it his policy to designate the Aircraft Carrier Alliance as a public body for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

    Mr Philip Dunne

    For the manufacture phase of the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft carrier project the Aircraft Carrier Alliance (ACA) was formed from BAE Systems Naval Ships (formerly BAE Systems Surface Ships), Babcock, Thales UK and the Ministry of Defence (MOD). The MOD is fully compliant with the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Private companies do not fall under the remit of the Freedom of Information Act. It is not appropriate for the Secretary of State for Defence to designate the ACA a public body.

    Adrian Sanders – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Adrian Sanders on 2014-03-31.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps he is taking to increase freedoms for special schools to design their own curriculum.

    Mr Edward Timpson

    The new national curriculum, to be taught from September 2014, sets out only the essential knowledge that all children should acquire, and leaves teachers to decide how to teach this most effectively and to design a wider school curriculum that best meets the needs of their pupils.

    For all pupils with special educational needs (SEN), including those who attend special schools, lessons should be planned to ensure that there are no barriers to achievement. In many cases, such planning will mean that these pupils will be able to study the full national curriculum.

    The SEN Code of Practice includes statutory guidance on identifying and supporting pupils with SEN and adapting teaching approaches to ensure they have access to the same opportunities as their peers.
