I am pleased to advise the Deputy that contracts for the transfer of the site for the school in question have been signed.

For that transaction to close formally, the agreement of the Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests is required. It is the responsibility of the vendor to refer the transfer contracts to the commissioners. Accordingly, confirmation from the vendor's solicitor of the agreement of the commissioners is now awaited.

The question of the project proceeding to construction will be considered further when the site transfer closes.
