To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families if he will make a statement on the implementation of his Department's proposals for reform of the 14-to-19 curriculum. (148191)

The Department has made substantial progress in delivering the objectives published in December 2005 in the 14-19 Implementation Plan. We have met all major milestones to date as set out in chapter 5 of the implementation plan and are working closely with our key partners and are on track with the activities for 2007 and beyond.

14-19 reform continues to be a key priority of the Department for Children, Schools and Families.

I refer the hon. Member to the replies given to the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton (Mr. Gibb) earlier this year, 6 February 2007, Official Report, column 831W, and 26 February 2007, Official Report, column 1017W.
