The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what support her Department is providing to schools impacted by reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete in the North East.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

All schools and colleges with confirmed reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) have suitable mitigations in place.

The department has supported schools and college to put in place mitigations.

The government has committed to resolving this problem as quickly as possible, permanently removing RAAC either through grant funding or the School Rebuilding Programme.
