Answer

I will give consideration to the design and delivery of the Independent Review of Education provision as articulated in New Decade, New Approach.

It would, thereafter, be my intention to bring forward proposals to the Executive which would include detail on the timing of such a review, the methodology for recruiting an appropriate panel and the funding ramifications.
