My Department has fully funded a radon remediation programme and virtually all schools have participated in it. The programme initially involved surveying radon levels in schools and subsequently carrying out mitigation works where appropriate. The remaining handful of schools who have not agreed to participate in the radon surveys are regularly advised of the need to do so. I will arrange for a list of these schools to be given to the Deputy.
