South Eastern Education and Library Board

Volume 457: debated on Monday 5 March 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the operation of the South Eastern Education and Library Board since he appointed commissioners to run the board; and if he will make a statement. (125019)

My Department regularly monitors and reviews the position in the South Eastern Education and Library Board. The commissioners inherited a very difficult situation when they were appointed last July. I am pleased with the progress that they have made, in conjunction with board officers, in delivering progress against the targets set for 2006-07 and restoring financial stability within the organisation.
