Local Liberal Democrats say that a Lib Dem amendment to the Levelling Up Bill would have forced the Government to publish a register of schools and hospitals that are in a state of serious disrepair from RAAC concrete, asbestos or any other construction problem.

More than 300 Conservative MPs voted last week against publishing a regular list which would keep people informed of progress.
Horsham Lib Dem spokesman John Milne said: “As Horsham residents we have a right to know when our schools and hospitals are liable to collapse or filled with toxic asbestos.”
