Baroness Barran (Con)
I thank my noble friend for her question. I hope it reassures her to know that I have met twice already the leading structural engineering firms. We have looked at different ways that we can accelerate the pace of surveys and are very confident that we will have carried out at least 600 surveys by the autumn.
Lord Addington (LD)
My Lords, will the Minister give us an assurance that any new school is constructed with a material that we expect to have to pull down and will not fall down before we get there?
Baroness Barran (Con)
I can give the House that reassurance. Not only that but any new school we construct will be net zero in operation.
