Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the quality of the (a) resources and (b) temporary classrooms provided by Mitie to schools affected by RAAC.

The department takes the safety and quality of school buildings very seriously. The department has not procured temporary classrooms from Mitie. Responsible bodies may have done so and are responsible for doing so in line with guidelines. All temporary buildings must meet the requirements of the building regulations, including being signed off by a building inspector before they can be occupied.

Guidance for responsible bodies on key issues to consider when procuring temporary classrooms has been developed and is available from caseworkers assigned to each project affected by RAAC.
