Mr Osborne
We have provided just over £30 million to the Police Service of Northern Ireland. I am confident that within that resource the PSNI can undertake the recruitment and training that it requires to police Northern Ireland effectively for all communities.
Nic Dakin (Scunthorpe) (Lab)
Given that 16 to 18-year-olds attend schools as well as colleges, does the Chancellor’s unequivocal commitment to protect school funding in real terms extend to the funding of 16 to 18-year-olds?
Mr Osborne
We set out the school commitment in the direct school grant and the pupil premium. We have invested in the education of young people as well as the education of young adults.
