Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Hanson of Flint and David Laws

Monday 19th January 2015 Commons Chamber

[The Minister for Schools (Mr David Laws)]

I agree with my hon. Friend that the Government have delivered far better value for money in the capital programme than their predecessor, and that is why we are able to do so much on the capital front. He will not expect me to make a final statement now on the bid from his constituency, but his strong support is carefully noted by Ministers.

[Mr David Hanson (Delyn) (Lab)]

When do the Government expect to produce the report on asbestos in schools, which was completed in June 2014 but has not yet been published?

[Mr Laws]

We intend to make an announcement on this matter shortly.
