HC Deb 26 February 2004 vol 418 cc543-4W
Mr. Chaytor

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will list, for each local authority with one or more schools designated under section 104 and section 100 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, how many schools so designated are proposed for (a) new building, (b) major refurbishment or remodelling of existing building,(c) minor repairs and refurbishment to existing buildings and (d) no capital works in the local education authority's response to the Building Schools for the Future initiative. [155620]

Mr. Miliband

[holding answer 25 February 2004]: Local education authorities (LEAs) submitted proposals and expressions of interest for Building Schools for the Future (BSF) outlining what sort of work they envisaged for their schools and included 118 selective schools. The following table gives the breakdown requested. Given the long planning period of 10 to 15 years from 2005–06, these figures should be treated with some caution.

For each school LEAs were requested to indicate what percentage of work fell into each of the types above. For example a school may have 25 per cent. type A, 25 per cent. type B, 25 per cent. type C and 25 per cent. type D. The table shows the number of selective schools included in each LEA and the numbers of those where some work is included in each type of work. Some LEAs chose not to give school details in their expressions of interest and, therefore, no information is available for these.
