On the question of temporary school accommodation, as somebody who on many occasions worked in temporary school accommodation, I am very conscious of the fact that there is a sense in which one is throwing good money after bad in that there is a limit to how long temporary accommodation lasts. Is the amount of money spent on prefabs and so on increasing or decreasing? To what extent are prefabs owned or rented out by schools? Has the Department sought to negotiate a decrease in costs when it comes to prefabs?
