And it is important once it had that that the government acted on it i as swiftly as possible. Of course i know thei timing is frustrating. But i want to give people a sense of the scale of what we are grappling with here. There are around 22,000 schools. In england and the important thing to know is we are expecting 95 of those schools will not be impacted by this, i around 50 schools have already been mitigated. Another 100 are in the process of being so. 0ur Expectation is in a matter of weeks the bulk of the remaining schools that will have this issue will be identified as well.

When the conservative mayor of the West Midlands accused the government of cancelling the future if the leg between birmingham and manchester isnt built. Speaking outside the conservative Party Conference in manchester, andy street said the government must not give up on h52 and the Prime Minister must rethink radically how the project is delivered. But Downing Street is still insisting that no final decision has been made. With the latest, heres our political editor, chris mason, in manchester. Party conferences are always a cauldron of whispers and gossip. 0k, good evening, everybody. Denials and announcements. At half five tonight, enter the conservative mayor of the West Midlands.
