§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills which education authority is regarded by his Department as having the greatest need for renewal of school buildings. [152953]
§ Mr. MilibandWe are in the course of assessing data on the suitability and condition needs of school buildings provided to us by authorities as part of the asset management process and will shortly be making information available. This will help to show the relative needs of authorities' schools in regard to suitability and condition. These needs are however usually only one of the factors that are taken into account in decisions to school renew buildings.
