Secondary Schools (Wellingborough)
Mr. Bone:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills whether provision is being made to build a new secondary school in the Wellingborough constituency; and if she will make a statement. [14088]
Beverley Hughes:

12 Sept 2005 : Column 2366W
Northamptonshire local authority, currently £53.5 million over the next two years, no specific allocations are made to Wellingborough beyond the devolved formula capital provided directly to schools.
Northamptonshire's secondary schools are due to be refurbished or rebuilt as part of the Building Schools for the Future programme over the next six to fourteen years.
Mr. Bone:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many pupils there have been in each year group in each of the secondary schools in the Wellingborough constituency in each year since 1997. [14091]

Surplus Places Survey
Mr. Bone:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many children in the Wellingborough constituency have been left for any period of time without a secondary school place since 1997; and what the (a) average and (b) maximum length of time is for which such children have been left without a secondary school place. [14093]
Beverley Hughes:
The Department does not collect this information centrally. Each local authority has a statutory duty to ensure that every child of compulsory school age in their area has access to education. The local authority should take appropriate measures to ensure that there are sufficient school places available.
Mr. Bone:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the estimated number of children of secondary school age in the Wellingborough constituency is in each of the next 20 years. [14094]
Beverley Hughes:
The information requested is not available, as population projections are not available for parliamentary constituencies, except where they coincide with local authority boundaries. The area covered by Wellingborough local authority is different from the parliamentary constituency.
