Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will publish a geographical breakdown by (a) local authority and (b) Parliamentary constituency of his Department's statistics published on 3 March 2022 on delivery of air cleaning units to education settings.

The department has published data on the number of air cleaning units delivered to education providers. This can be found here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/delivery-of-air-cleaning-units.

The attached table shows a geographical breakdown of air cleaning unit deliveries by local authority. The department does not hold the data at a Parliamentary constituency level.

The department has also published data on the number of education providers that applied and were eligible for air cleaning units. This can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/co2-monitor-survey-and-applications-for-air-cleaning-units.

Air cleaning units were allocated based on need and applications had to meet strict eligibility criteria, available to view here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12cU_I5q0v1_my97yPMpb87RsSL5d5lpj. In response to the number of applications received, we have made up to 9,000 air cleaning units available to ensure that all eligible applications are fulfilled. The majority of providers have now received their air cleaning units. Final deliveries of applications received in January will be made by half-term.
