Vicky Ford corrected a written answer on Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: Private Education
Emily Thornberry (Labour, Islington South and Finsbury) asked written question 5628 on 20 May 2022. Vicky Ford answered on 26 May 2022 for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and Vicky Ford corrected the answer on 8 June 2022. The corrected text adds the figure £1,447,779.00, which the original did not give. Altogether 66 words differ between the two versions.
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 19 May 2022 to Question 123, for what reason a breakdown of spending on school places at the named institutions has not been provided as it was by her Department in the previous Answers of (a) 6 July 2021 to Question 23129 and (b) 3 December 2018 to Question 196152.
Original and corrected answer
Struck through: original only. Bold: correction only.
| Original | Corrected |
|---|---|
| The FCDO allocated £1,447,779.00 for children of FCDO staff on legacy FCO terms and conditions at these schools in FY 2021/2022. Given the numbers of children attending these schools, disclosing the breakdown of school places could potentially lead to the identification of individual children, and therefore the FCDO consider that this is not appropriate for safeguarding reasons. |
