Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education — Postponed from 8 November – in the Senedd at 1:37 pm on 15 November 2017.
Cabinet Secretary, I'm advised that New Directions is not the cheapest option for supply teachers in Wales, yet they are the preferred agency. The following allegations about freebies said to be used by New Directions have been made. I have no opinion as to the veracity or the truthfulness of these allegations, but they have been put. It has been alleged to me that New Directions provide free sport event tickets, boozy free golf days, and football kits for schools, allegedly in order to secure more business. Will you investigate these allegations and report back to this Chamber?
