§ Jacqui SmithMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State requires all local education authorities (LEAs) to assess and review completed New Deal for Schools (NDS) projects in the context of their Asset Management Plans, which are submitted to the Department for scrutiny.
Nearly £1.3 billion has been invested in New Deal for Schools—almost £80 million in NDS1; £230 million in 313W NDS2; £320 million in NDS3; and over £620 million in NDS4. Thirteen schools in the constituency of south Derbyshire have benefited—eight from allocations totalling £3,877,861 and five from multiple school projects with total allocations of £1,565,649. For
