Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nick Gibb and Vince Cable

Monday 17th December 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I gently exhort the Minister of State to face the House so that we can all benefit from his mellifluous tones.

[Sir Vince Cable (Twickenham) (LD)]

The level of educational funding will be radically affected by the new treatment of public sector pensions. Can the Minister confirm that it is the Government’s policy to cover the majority of costs for schools and colleges, but not for universities, and explain the different treatment?

[Nick Gibb]

Yes, I can confirm that.
