Mr. Paul Marsden: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make a statement on the funding of a
replacement playground for Sundorne Secondary School in Shrewsbury. [154460]
Jacqui Smith: This is a matter for Shropshire local education authority (LEA) to manage, working with the school. I understand that
the school has made representations to the authority to secure funding for this project.
Several possible sources of funding exist for this project. In January this year, we announced New Deal for Schools (NDS) Condition
and New Deal for Schools (NDS) Devolved formula funding for the next three years to 2003-04. From that funding, Shropshire LEA and
its schools will receive around £4.08 million NDS Condition funding and £5.82 million NDS Devolved formula funding over the period.
The NDS Devolved formula allocation will be increased by the extra funding announced in the Chancellor's Budget statement on 7
March. As a result, I estimate that Sundorne Secondary School will receive over £16,000 in total next year under the NDS Devolved
capital funding programme, with increased amounts in later years, for it to use on priority capital work.
New Deal for Schools (NDS) Modernisation funding, totalling £555 million for schools in England, will further increase funding
available to Shropshire LEA from 2002-03.

Mr. Hunter: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will take steps to (a) compel or (b)
encourage local authorities to ensure that children's playgrounds have soft surfaces to minimise the risk of injury. [143380]
Mr. Meacher: Health and safety legislation already compels local authorities to carry out an assessment of the risks to the health
and safety of persons not in their employment who may be affected by the manner in which they carry out their undertaking. This
would include assessing the risks in children's playgrounds and such assessments should consider whether the surface complies with
published standards on impact absorbing surfaces. Guidance on these standards is available to all local authorities.
Where local authorities fail to ensure playgrounds have suitable impact absorbing surfaces, HSE is prepared to take enforcement
action.
