The Chief Secretary to the Treasury (Elizabeth Truss)
In the Budget settlement at the end of the last year we made sure that there was extra money going into the police, increasing funding and increasing spending power in real terms. We have also allocated extra funding to deal with the scourge of knife crime.
Sir Patrick McLoughlin (Derbyshire Dales) (Con)
The Government claim that spending on education is higher than it has ever been. Does that take into account the extra costs the Government have put on schools?
Elizabeth Truss
We have provided schools with additional funding to cope with the rise in pension contributions. We will be looking at school funding as part of the spending review and I will take my right hon. Friend’s representations into account.
