Thank you for your e-mail. I will register your concerns with Michael Gove MP and when the Secretary of State responds, I will write to you again. Personally I welcome faith group involvement in schools and do not see that there is anything to be concerned about. I think that fears of indoctrination are unfounded and that most children, when they leave secondary school on the threshold of adulthood, are quite able to soberly judge whether faith is important to them or not. I respect that you have a different opinion however.

Thank you for writing to me, I will take this up with the Secretary of State and I wish you a Happy New Year.

Yours sincerely
Robert Buckland MP
