Labour will attempt to force the government to publish the list of schools that have closed because of dangerous “crumbly” concrete through a vote in parliament next week.
The Department for Education has ordered 104 schools with RAAC to shut just days before the start of the new term, but ministers have so far refused to name those affected.
It is understood officials learned over the summer of cases where buildings with RAAC– reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete – collapsed despite not showing any signs of deterioration.
Labour, which yesterday called for ministers to launch an emergency nationwide audit to also include the wider public sector estate, intends to use a binding Humble Address motion in the House of Commons on Wednesday to force the publication of official documents about the government’s handling of the crisis.
