Stephen TwiggStephen Twigg MP, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, responding to the news that ministers have not written to the independent panel explaining the reasons for their decisions on playing fields, said:

"Michael Gove must come clean on why he overruled the advice of the independent School Playing Fields Advisory Panel.

"David Cameron once promised a new era of transparency. Michael Gove must now publish the reasons for overturning the panel and all the correspondence on the sale of playing fields.

"This shambles shows how incompetent and out of touch this Tory-led Government is."
