Building Schools For The Future Programme In The West Midlands
EDM number 449 in 2010-12, proposed by Jim Cunningham on 08/07/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Construction and Schools.
That this House is deeply concerned at the Government's decision to scrap the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) project for the majority of schools in the West Midlands; notes the inaccurate way the Secretary of State presented this information to the House; calls on the Government to clarify the status of each school under the BSF programme immediately; further notes that there are gross anomalies between cancelled projects in Coventry and neighbouring areas, which have projects at comparable stages and yet are still going ahead; further notes the considerable hard work and resources already invested in this project by teachers, governors and local authorities; further notes the adverse effect this decision will have on the construction industry in the West Midlands; and considers the decision to cut this programme as a huge blow to parents, pupils and teaching staff in the West Midlands.
