I do not agree with the last couple of comments, but if the school has already been confirmed for the school rebuilding programme, that will continue.

Of course, education is devolved in Wales, but as the Secretary of State has rightly said, this is not a time for political point scoring, nor is it really a time for jurisdictional squabbling. Given that this issue predates devolution by several decades, will she confirm that, should the situation arise in Wales, any remedial funding required to repair the buildings will still be provided by the UK Government?

I think the Welsh Government will be providing the response to RAAC in Wales and also the funding for it.
