Mr. Michael J. FosterTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what is the Government's policy towards the use of temporary classrooms in schools. [63444]
§ Ms Estelle MorrisTemporary classrooms can provide a suitable solution to accommodation issues in schools. Whether they are appropriate in any particular instance is usually a matter for the local education authority or the grant-maintained school. However, we have made clear that, where additional accommodation is required to implement our class size pledge, LEAs should seek to provide permanent and not temporary classrooms.
