Oral Answers to Questions

Chris Vince Excerpts

Monday 27th January 2025 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Morgan]

I thank the hon. Member for raising those matters. I would be happy to meet her to understand the issues in more detail.

[Chris Vince (Harlow) (Lab/Co-op)]

T9. Students at Sir Frederick Gibberd college in Harlow have been taught in marquees and portacabins for over a year after the previous Government wasted £29 million on a building that has since been deemed unsafe. What consideration will the Department give to support SFG college?

[Stephen Morgan]

I thank pupils, teachers and school leaders for their resilience since the original buildings were closed in August 2023. We have delivered high-quality temporary modular accommodation that the school will use until its new permanent buildings are ready. We will continue to work closely with the trust and the local community to find a permanent solution.
