Huw spoke in the Statement from the Secretary of State for Education, Nicky Morgan MP. Huw Merriman MP: I thank the Secretary of State and her ministerial team for taking the time to listen to concerns raised, for strengthening this already fantastic White Paper and for providing a source of debate in my constituency as to whether the LEA model is in fact not the right one. To that end, will she consider the obstacles for local clusters forming multi-academy trusts because of the many Church schools in my constituency? The Rt. Hon Nicky Morgan MP: My hon. Friend has raised the really important question of small schools, usually primary schools, deciding whether to join the diocesan academy trust, if one has been set up, or thinking about other options. On 18 April we published on the Department’s website two new memorandums of understanding, with the Church of England and with the Catholic Church, which provide more flexibility. I hope that they will be of use to him in his discussions. You can view this on Parliament TV: http://parliamentlive.tv/event/index/ddc7beeb-6dc7-4df7-ae42-692e767fb4…
