I understand from the Chief Executive of the South Eastern Education and Library Board that 62 per cent. of asbestos surveys have been completed to date, 18 per cent. of surveys are currently on-going and all surveys will be completed by May 2004. Information on the survey results for individual schools will be available on a phased basis from February 2004 onwards on request to the Chief Executive SEELB.
