Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when her Department expects to publish the data gathered through the Property Data Survey Programme.

Answer

The Property Data Survey Programme, which carried out high-level condition surveys of the school estate in England, completed its last survey in July 2014. To ensure that the data is sufficiently robust before it is put to any further use, I asked officials to share the data we had gathered with schools and responsible bodies and rectify any significant variances in the dataset.

The deadline for feedback from schools and responsible bodies has recently passed and officials are presently considering where we need to update the survey information. Once this is completed, we will be giving further consideration to future publication of the data.
