Question
In what year is it anticipated that the Cowes high school on the Isle of Wight will be rebuilt?
Answer
It is up to the hon. Gentleman's friends in the Isle of Wight council to come forward with the appropriate plans. We have increased tenfold the amount of capital allocation to local authorities. As I have just explained, we are currently consulting—that will finish this week—on the authorities that are in waves seven to 15 of the BSF programme. That includes the Isle of Wight. If it can put in a good enough proposal that meets the criteria that will be agreed at around the turn of the year and that includes Cowes high school, it is possible that the rebuilding could be moved forward.
