The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, on what dates the Break Down Barriers to Opportunity Mission Board has met since November 2025.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Ministers have convened several meetings with Ministerial colleagues from departments represented within the Opportunity Mission to progress work on strategies including Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life strategy and Every Child Achieving and Thriving White Paper. We continue to engage with a wide range of stakeholders through a variety of forums, including members of the Opportunity Mission Expert Reference Group. Delivery oversight is provided through existing governance including the Departmental Board, chaired by my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, details of which are published on GOV.UK.
