Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Keith Vaz (Labour). It was answered by Lord Coaker (Labour) on Monday, 12 October 2009 on behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
Land Sales (Schools)
- Question
- What estimate he has made of the amount of land sold by schools for non-educational purposes in the latest period for which figures are available.
- Answer
-
The information requested is not held centrally. Schools and local authorities do not need the Secretary of State’s consent to sell school buildings or land that is not school playing field. However, all proceeds from the disposal of school playing fields have been reinvested in school sports or educational facilities since legislation was introduced, under section 77 of the School Standards and Framework Act, in 1998.
