Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of the schools that responded to the Education Funding Agency's 2016 asbestos in schools data collection exercise have had an asbestos management survey carried out for buildings which may contain asbestos.

The Department is intending to publish the findings from the Education Funding Agency (EFA) data collection, on asbestos management in schools.

Last year, we published a comprehensive review of asbestos in schools and we are implementing its findings, working with the Health and Safety Executive and others.
