This decision was taken because the Universal Technical College project had made insufficient progress to give the Department for Education confidence that a good quality school would open and flourish.

This advice does not provide specific guidance on sleeping conditions for coach drivers, since this would be for an employer to consider as part of the risk assessment.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the summary report of the Property Data Survey Programme, published in January 2015, what estimate she has made of the total cost of repairs necessary to bring the school estate in England up to good condition.
tabling member constituency	Mid Dorset and North Poole
tabling member printed	Annette Brooke
uin	225207
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2015 answer text <p>The Property Data Survey was designed to give a relative view of condition need. As stated in the report, the Property Data Survey condition need we have calculated is not the cost of addressing the need in the estate but a relative weighting of the complexity of addressing different types of condition need. Calculating the total cost of addressing the need in the estate would involve taking into account other factors, such as asbestos and structural need, which are excluded from the survey. As such we do not hold an estimate of the total cost of repairs necessary to bring the school estate in England up to good condition.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 02/03/2015 14:23:12 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws
