To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the cost to the general economy when a school has to close due to inclement weather.
[139866]
The decision on whether to close is for individual schools, but the Government expects head teachers to keep schools open whenever reasonably possible. Unnecessarily closing schools causes disruption to children's education and to their parents.
The Government has not made a specific estimate of the effect a school closure will have on the level of gross domestic product (GDP). A school closure will have a direct effect on public sector output and is likely to have indirect effects on private sector output. Temporary disruptions are typically subsequently offset to some degree, though to the extent that did not occur, GDP would be permanently affected.
