Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 1:33 pm on 25 April 2018.
Well, Lee, I can confirm that all education department approvals for business cases that are submitted by local education authorities, across Wales, are not to prejudice any processes—statutory processes—that are needed. Schools in Carmarthenshire will have seen investment of £87 million in the band A programme, and a further £130 million will be invested as a result of the band B programme. And, as I said in my answer to Simon Thomas, my officials keep in very close touch with all local authorities to ensure that their programmes are delivered in the best possible way for the benefits of the children who attend those schools.
