Mr Liddell-Grainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many condemned temporary classrooms there are in Somerset; and how many temporary classrooms were replaced in Somerset in(a) 2000–01 and (b) 2001–02. [98277]

Mr. Miliband

The Department for Education and Skills does not hold information on numbers of replacement temporary classrooms.

Mr Liddell-Grainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what guidelines the Government has issued on classroom replacement in Somerset. [98283]

Mr. Miliband

The Department for Education and Skills has not issued guidelines for replacement classrooms. Somerset, in common with other Local Education Authorities, determines priorities for its capital budgets, on the basis of its Asset Management Plan, which should take Government priorities into account.
