Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to paragraph 2.72 on page 29 of the Spring Statement 2025, whether the funding will deliver 10 colleges per region or 10 colleges in total.

At the Spring Statement, this government committed £100 million to establish 10 new Technical Excellence Colleges specialising in construction across every region in England and to further build capacity to boost the provision of skills in construction. This means there will be ten construction Technical Excellence Colleges in total.
