Our Conservative MPs vote to cover up school concrete crisis
Michael Fabricant and Kate Kniveton, Conservative MPs for Lichfield and for Burton voted to block the publication of spending requested by the Department for Education to fix RAAC school roofs, amid revelations that funding requests were blocked by Rishi Sunak during his time as Chancellor. Our disgraced, ex Conservative, Tamworth MP did not vote.
The Liberal Democrats voted for the motion and have been pressuring the government to be transparent about their funding decisions when it comes to school maintenance.
Parents in our area deserve to know the truth about the safety of their children in school. We need to have full transparency from the government over what led us to this point.
How else can we fully understand the situation if the government hides the facts? Yet again it feels like we are being left in the dark and taken for granted by Conservative Ministers.
For our MPS not to want to see this information made public speaks volumes.
They would rather see Rishi Sunak and the government cover up their underfunding of schools than allow their constituents to understand how we got into this crisis. It shows their utter contempt for their constituents and we deserve better.
