Chancellor Jeremy Hunt promised on Sunday to ‘spend what it takes’ to make classrooms safe.

Money to repair school buildings at risk of collapse will come from the Department for Education’s existing capital budget, it is understood.

Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg show, Mr Hunt would not speculate on the potential cost of fixing the problem, but said: “We will spend what it takes to make sure children can go to school safely, yes.” Questions remain over the extent to which the problem has been complicated by the co-existence of asbestos in schools and other public buildings.

But on Sunday Mr Hunt would not guarantee that headteachers would be reimbursed with extra money for rentals, saying only that “we will make sure they can keep their children safe”.
