HC Deb 24 May 2004 vol 421 cc1330-1W
Mr. Hoban

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills pursuant to the answer of 17 May,Official Report, column 709W, on schools (capital investment), what priority will be given in subsequent waves to schools excluded from a wave one bid which did not cover all schools in a local education authority. [175235]

Mr. Miliband

Schools in a local authority that have been successful in wave 1 of Building Schools for the Future which are not in its wave 1 project will not be given any special priority in subsequent waves of investment. Decisions on prioritisation of all groups of schools submitted by local authorities for the next waves of investment will be taken on the basis of the published criteria.
