Schools: Concrete

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what Barnett consequentials arise for (1) Scotland, (2) Northern Ireland, and (3) Wales, as a result of additional financial support for schools to deal with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete.

Answer

Education is a devolved matter. The devolved administrations have received funding for schools through the Barnett formula at the last Spending Review and subsequent fiscal events.

The Barnett formula will continue to apply in the usual way to any changes in UK Government departmental budgets at future fiscal events.

We are committed to working collaboratively with our devolved administration counterparts on this issue.
