Free Schools
(asked on 9th November 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what amount her Department has spent to date on underwriting salaries of staff at free schools whose schools did not open or open on time.
This question was answered on 17th November 2015
The Department for Education does not have a full breakdown of revenue spent on staff salaries for proposed free school projects.
The total pre-opening expenditure for free school projects is published on GOV.UK:
www.gov.uk/government/publications/revenue-expenditure-for-free-schools
We will shortly update this information to include projects that opened or were withdrawn or cancelled up to September 2015.
