Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to his Department's Press Release, published on 21 August 2021, when he expects all 300,000 carbon dioxide monitors to have been delivered to schools; and how many of those monitors have been delivered by 25 October 2021.

The CO2 monitor roll out began in September across special schools and alternative provision, who were prioritised to receive their monitors first given their higher-than-average numbers of vulnerable pupils. These settings have now received their full allocation of monitors.  Monitors are now being dispatched to all schools and other eligible settings over the remainder of the autumn term. The roll out is on track, and we expect all eligible settings to have received their monitors by the end of the autumn term.

The department will begin publishing delivery data from 4 November. The first publication will cover all deliveries up to 25 October.
