The Guardian – Schools crisis: no extra cash for repairs, says Treasury 

The Guardian reports that the Treasury has admitted no extra funding will be allocated to the education budget to cover repairs and closures, in the wake of the RAAC row.

The latest from the Treasury comes despite Jeremy Hunt earlier saying the government would spend the money needed to fix the issue. 

The paper says the chancellor is accused of “abandoning children disrupted by the concrete crisis in schools”. The paper reports the briefing was that any funding to fix buildings “would come from the Department for Education’s existing budget for buildings” and not from additional funds.
