§ Mr. KidneyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many eco-schools there have been in each local education authority area in England in each year since 1997. [118689]
§ Mr. MilibandThe information requested is not collected by DfES but by ENCAMS who run the Eco-Schools scheme. Currently, 4,404 schools are registered with the scheme but due to inconstant information sent by the schools when registering, ENCAMS are unable to give figures on how many Eco-Schools there are in each local education authority. To calculate the number of schools for each local education authority from the information available would be disproportionately costly.
