Question
to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the most recent estimate is of the funding required to establish a free school in Bolton.

The Department has provided Bolton Council with £27 million to fund new school places between 2011 and 2017 and a further £18 million for 2017 to 2020.
