Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate he has made of the capital cost of tackling the backlog of repairs to education buildings in Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough constituency.

The Department is preparing detailed analysis of the data collected for the Condition Data Collection (CDC) programme and modelled remediation costs to bring schools back into good condition based on CDC data, and plan to publish the details by the end of the year.

The key, high-level findings of the CDC programme, were published in May 2021 in the report ‘Condition of School Buildings Survey – Key Findings’.

The report is available here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/989912/Condition_of_School_Buildings_Survey_CDC1_-_key_findings_report.pdf.

The Department has no plans to make a statement.
