Academy trusts and councils should “get off their backsides” and fill out a survey on RAAC, the education secretary has said.
Gillian Keegan said it was “annoying” and “probably a bit of my frustration yesterday” that 5 per cent of responsible bodies are yet to respond to the questionnaire, launched in March 2022.
Speaking on Jeremy Vine’s Radio 2 show, she added: “Hopefully all this publicity will make them get off their backsides but what I would like them to do is to respond because I want to be the secretary of state that knows exactly in every school where there is RAAC and takes action.”
It followed her “hot mic” outburst yesterday in which see accused others of having “sat on their arse” while her department had done a “f***king good job”.
