Jess Phillips – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jess Phillips on 2015-11-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will list all the free school projects that have been withdrawn or cancelled to date; and what the cost to the public purse was of the withdrawal or cancellation of each such project.

Edward Timpson

The Department for Education does not have a full breakdown of revenue spent on staff salaries for proposed free school projects.

The total pre-opening expenditure for free school projects is published on GOV.UK:

www.gov.uk/government/publications/revenue-expenditure-for-free-schools

We will shortly update this information to include projects that opened or were withdrawn or cancelled up to September 2015.
