To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment when she plans to issue a decision on the dispute concerning the allocation of playing fields between the Dartford West high school for girls and the Dartford grammar school for girls; and if she will make a statement. [10771]

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has already informed the parties of the decision that she is minded to make. Further representations have been made, some only very recently, and these are receiving urgent attention. The case raises a number of complex issues and is further complicated by another case which is now before the Education Assets Board. The outcome of that case may affect my right hon. Friend's consideration of this one.
