Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of schools that responded to the Education Funding Agency's 2016 asbestos data collection have a procedure in place detailing control measures required to prevent disturbance of any known asbestos-containing materials.

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.
