Schools: Energy
(asked on 28th March 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans he has to support schools with rising energy costs.
This question was answered on 4th April 2022
I refer the hon. Member for Bristol West to the answer I gave on 22 March 2022 to Question 138095 and on 28 March 2022 to Question 145876.
The department recognises that schools will be facing cost pressures in the coming months, particularly due to the increase in energy prices. We are looking carefully at how this will impact schools and considering what additional support we can offer. Cost increases should be seen in the wider context of funding and support for schools.
