Question No: 2024/2270
Question (Thomas Turrell AM) 18th July 2024
Please can you provide the latest statistics for schools with air pollution filters by borough?
Answer (Sadiq Khan) 23rd July 2024
We are currently delivering the research phase of the school filter programme whereby we have temporarily provided filters to five schools for the purpose of testing their effectiveness; one school in Lewisham, Barnet, and Westminster and two schools in Bexley. This research will help to ascertain the best types of air filter to use in the project.
Following this research, the project to install filters in classrooms across 200 schools will launch at the end of this year. We do not yet have a final list of schools to benefit but are planning a fair distribution across the London boroughs.
We do not have records of the number of filters currently installed in schools through other schemes or initiatives.
