Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate he has made of the capital cost of tackling the backlog of repairs in schools in Stockton North constituency.

The Department plans to publish remediation costs to bring schools back into good condition based on data collected in the Condition Data Collection programme (CDC) by the end of the year. This will include the schools in Stockton North constituency.

The key, high-level findings of the CDC programme, were published in May 2021 in the report ‘Condition of School Buildings Survey – Key Findings’.

The report is available here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/989912/Condition_of_School_Buildings_Survey_CDC1_-_key_findings_report.pdf.

The Department has no plans to make a statement.
