HC Deb 13 February 2002 vol 380 cc415-8W
Mr. Willis

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills, pursuant to her answer of 17 January 2002,Official Report, column 447W, on LEAs (Repairs), if she will categorise the estimated cost of repair or renewal work needed for each local authority by(a) priority 1, (b) priority 2 and (c) priority 3 work. [32896]

John Healey

The following table summarises school premises condition information derived from the asset management plan data provided by local education authorities. Priority 1 covers urgent work; Priority 2 shows work needed within two years; Priority 3 is for work needed within three to five years. Costs have been adjusted to current prices and take account of regional variations in pricing levels.

The figures are derived from data supplied by LEAs over the past two years, based on surveys carried out mainly in 1999 or early 2000. Over £5.5 billion of capital funding has been made available by the Department from 1999–2000 until 2001–02, enabling LEAs and schools to tackle a significant proportion of the school repair and renewal needs which had built up over many years. A further £6.3 billion will be available from 2002–03 to 2003–04.
