§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) what estimate he has made of the cost of providing all-Wales insurance cover for school staff supervising or refereeing sporting activities and how this would compare with(a) each local education authority providing cover for their schools and (b) each school taking out its own insurance policy; [30707]
(2) if he will make it his policy to insure all staff in schools when they are supervising or refereeing sporting activities. [30710]
§ Mr. HagueNo such estimate has been made. It is for local education authorities in respect of county and controlled schools, and the governing body in the case of voluntary-aided and grant-maintained schools, to ensure that insurance is adequate to cover staff involved with school sporting activities.
