Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Rupa Huq and Sajid Javid

Tuesday 7th January 2020 Commons Chamber

[Sajid Javid]

My hon. Friend is right to raise this issue. He has been a champion of fairer funding for schools, especially in the west midlands, and I agree with him about the importance of this issue. That is precisely why, in the spending round, we made an exception for schools by having a three-year settlement, which means there will be a £7.1 billion increase for schools throughout England by 2022-23, helping to bring fairer funding.

[Dr Rupa Huq (Ealing Central and Acton) (Lab)]

2. What discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the adequacy of funding allocated to programmes to reduce carbon emissions.
