Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate he has made of the number of temporary classrooms used in schools by each local authority for each of the last five years.

The number of temporary classrooms used in schools by each local authority is not held centrally within the Department.

The Department does collect information on the condition of the school estate through the Condition Data Collection programme. This information is collected at the school building level; as it does not collect information on individual classrooms, we do not have a central record of the number of temporary classrooms used by schools.
