Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 28 November 2018 to Question 195085, whether his Department made a subsequent assessment of the viability of The Hoo as a location for the proposed Abacus Free School in Belsize Park since the reduction of its listed price at auction.

The Hoo site has already been reviewed and determined to be unsuitable for Abacus Belsize Primary School. The department has purchased a suitable site and intends to submit a planning application shortly.
