Debate between Elizabeth Truss and Dan Jarvis

Tuesday 5th March 2019 Commons Chamber

[Elizabeth Truss]

My hon. Friend is right. We also need to ensure that we are spending money on the right things. For example, the changes this Government have made to phonics have seen our children go from some of the poorest readers in Europe to some of the best. It is about money, but it is also about what we do with that money.
