§ Mr. Willis:To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many school buildings in use were built before 1975; and where these are situated. [141665]
§ Mr. Miliband[holding answer 9 December 2003]: Our categorisation of LEA asset management plan data returns allows buildings constructed up to and including 1976 to be separately identified. The total number of separate school buildings (excluding temporary buildings) within this category, for which information has been provided, is approximately 52,000. This large number reflects the fact that many schools have several buildings of different age categories on their sites. The LEA/school number codes for each building on the attached spreadsheets indicate where they are situated. In view of the large size of the analysis document, it has been made available on the DfES web site at: www.teachernet.gov.uk/amps
