Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the number of electric heaters bought for use in schools since 2019.

The information requested is not held centrally. The Department does not buy centrally on behalf of schools, so does not hold the information about the number of electric heaters that have been bought since 2019. Schools are autonomous and have the freedom to make their own buying decisions based on individual needs and circumstances.

More information on buying guidance and procedures for schools is available here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/buying-procedures-and-procurement-law-for-schools.
