Further to the question from my hon. Friend the Member for Stalybridge and Hyde (Jonathan Reynolds), both the think-tank Reform and the Treasury have raised questions about the efficacy and value for money of teaching assistants. Will the Secretary of State give his view?

I respect teaching assistants. I am also very interested in what Reform has to say, but above all I obey what the Treasury tells me.
