Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Oral Statement of 17 July 2017 on Schools Update, Official Report, column 563, which of his Departments' programmes will have funding reduced as a result of the decision to redirect £200 million into the core schools budget; and what the level of that reduction will be for each such programme.

In July, the Department announced that an additional £1.3 billion will be invested in core schools and high needs funding across 2018/19 and 2019/20, in addition to the schools budget set at spending review 2015. This additional investment in core schools funding will be funded in full from efficiencies, savings and emerging underspends from within the Department's budget. This funding is most valuable in the hands of head teachers and college principals.
