Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has been under pressure to update the full list of schools riddled with RAAC so the scale of the problem can be laid bare for worried parents.

Last night the Lib Dems won a vote in the House of Lords forcing the government to publish an updated register.

Earlier this month Ms Keegan said: "I understand the anxiety that this has caused parents, particularly those with children directly impacted, so soon after the disruption caused by the pandemic.

"But this is not pandemic school closures, and certainly not a return to extended home learning.

"Disrupting school plans for the new term so close to children going back was the last thing I wanted, but doing anything else with the evidence presented to us would have been unforgivable.";

She added: "Being in Government is about looking at the evidence and acting in the public interest — never more so than when it comes to the safety of children."

It comes as MPs in the Commons are set to question the Department for Education about its response to the crumbling concrete crisis.

Education Committee chairman Robin Walker this morning said: "Both I and my cross-party colleagues have heard loudly and clearly the distress and anxiety that this crisis is causing to families and staff at the 100 or more schools that are affected by RAAC.

"We share the feeling of urgency to establish how this situation developed, how and when it can be resolved, and what lessons need to be learnt.

"We look forward to questioning the minister and officials with oversight of capital expenditure on education settings, and testing the Government on its answers to those vital questions."

An initial list published showed that as of August 30, 147 schools and colleges in England contained RAAC.

Four schools were forced to bring in remote learning for all students.

An additional 20 schools had to offer partial remote learning.

Meanwhile, hundreds of surveys have been carried out in schools across England to discover the extent of the problems caused by dodgy building materials.

Downing Street stressed that the "vast majority of pupils" were not affected by the sub-standard concrete issues.

The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "Obviously it's important that we are transparent about the number of schools that are affected.

"It's important to note, of the original 147 schools confirmed in the first list all are now open in some capacity for face-to-face learning.
