it would seem that the new equivalent will be theSecretary of State for Schools and Children andEd Balls will hold this position.

I'd see both that post andSecretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills as equivalents - this is a post being split, not just rename.Timrollpickering13:28, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At the end of the introduction it says " As of 7th May 2015, the position is vacant.", yet in the infobox it says Nicky Morgan was incumbent since July 2014. The position was not vacated on 7th May. The other departments mentioned in this paragraph (DIUS and BERR) were dissolved years ago so it can't refer to them (it would be equally accurate to say that the job of Fuhrer of Germany has been vacant since 1945). Why was this sentence inserted?
