The advisory panel for the National Plan for Music Education has met on three occasions and the plan is still set to be published ‘early’ next year, according to a written answer from schools minister Robin Walker.

Addressing the secretary of state for education, Dame Diana Johnson, Labour MP for Kingston upon Hull North, asked two questions: when will the plan be published? And, how many times has the ‘expert advisory panel’ met since it was formed in August 2021?
