§ Mr. Mike O'BrienTo ask the Secretary of State for Education how many children currently receive their education in buildings that have been assessed as being in need of substantial repair as a result of inspection by Her Majesty's inspector of schools or otherwise.
§ Mr. ForthThis information is not available centrally. The repair and maintenance of school buildings is a matter for those with direct responsibility for the schools: local education authorities in the case of county and voluntary-controlled schools and governing bodies in the case of voluntary-aided and grant-maintained schools.
