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 17 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 settings. This can be found here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/delivery-of-air-cleaning-units.

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

The department has also published data on the number of settings 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; applications had to meet strict eligibility criteria, which can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12cU_I5q0v1_my97yPMpb87RsSL5d5lpj.

In response to the number of applications received, the department has made up to 9,000 air cleaning units available to ensure that all eligible applications are fulfilled. Most settings have now received their air cleaning units. Final deliveries of applications received in January 2022 will be made by half term.
