Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nick Gibb and Lord Wilson of Sedgefield

Monday 29th April 2019 Commons Chamber

[Nick Gibb]

Let me add my congratulations to my hon. Friend on his achievement in the London marathon. He will be pleased to know that in 2019-20 we have introduced a new formulaic approach to the allocation of growth funding to local authorities in the NFF. It is a fairer system, because it is based not just on what the authorities spent in the past but on the actual growth in the number of pupils. We will, of course, always keep this issue under review.

[Phil Wilson (Sedgefield) (Lab)]
