Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether his Department plans to allocate additional funding to schools for the provision of additional teaching space from September 2020 in the event that those schools do not have adequate teaching space to return to full-schooling under the covid-19 restrictions.
As my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, made clear when he spoke at the daily press briefing on 19 June, the Department is working towards bringing all children and young people back to school in September. We intend to announce further plans over the coming weeks, including guidance to school leaders on the protective measures necessary to support this.
