Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete in Education Settings

Jake Berry Excerpts

Monday 4th September 2023 Commons Chamber

[Gillian Keegan]

I think the hon. Gentleman knows that education is devolved in Wales.

[Sir Jake Berry (Rossendale and Darwen) (Con)]

The Secretary of State has said on several occasions that she and her Department are prioritising pupils still accessing face-to-face learning. As that is the case, when she publishes her definitive list on Thursday, will she also publish an estimate of the number of pupils who are not able to access face-to-face learning, and will she commit to the House that she will update that estimate on an ongoing basis?

[Gillian Keegan]

I cannot promise my right hon. Friend that that information will be contained in what is published this week—which is more likely to be about the schools and the mitigations that are in place—but we will then put together the information on pupils who are learning face to face and those who are learning remotely, and we will update that regularly.
