Malcolm Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills pursuant to his answer of 29 April,Official Report, column 1253W, on broadband, if he will list the schools which (a) have and (b) do not have access to broadband connectivity, broken down by type of local authority in which they are located. [173096]

Mr. Charles Clarke

My Department does not hold the information requested as collection would incur disproportionate costs. I provided available information on the proportion of rural schools with broadband connections at August 2003 in my response to PQ 168668, on 29 April,Official Report, column 1253W.
