§ Mr. Pikeasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what recent representations he has received regarding funding for repairs and maintenance of school buildings.
§ Mr. DunnMy right hon. Friend has received no recent representations concerned wholly with this subject. However, last October's report by the National Confederation of Parent Teacher Associations surveying "The State of Schools in England and Wales" referred to the state of repair and maintenance of schools included in its survey. In addition, resolutions calling for increased funding for repairs and maintenance are among those passed at the 1985 annual conferences of the Council of Local Education Authorities (CLEA) and the Campaign for the Advancement of State Education (CASE). Both my right hon. Friend and I receive letters on the subject of repairs and maintenance from time to time.
