Schools: Halifax

Volume 494: debated on Monday 15 June 2009

19. To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what plans there are to renew and refurbish the fabric of schools in Halifax. (279178)

Decisions on which schools to invest in are a matter for the local authority. Halifax primary schools will benefit from Calderdale’s Primary Capital Programme allocation of £8.67 million over the next two years. Halifax secondary schools will be renewed and refurbished when Calderdale joins the BSF programme. I am aware that my hon. Friend met the former Schools Minister to discuss Halifax’s BSF project. I am considering the matters that were raised.
