Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions her Department has had with hon. Members for London constituencies, councillors from London local authorities and Greater London Assembly members on school funding since 1 January 2017.

Ministers and officials from the Department have met with a range of stakeholders from across the country to discuss school funding since 1 January 2017, as part of our consultation on schools and high needs national formulae.

I have met hon. Members from across the House, including those who represent London constituencies, and have taken part in meetings with representatives from London Councils, and from London individual local authorities.

I also responded to a Westminster Hall Debate on School Funding in London in March, with contributions from hon. Members from several London constituencies.

We received over 25,000 responses to the consultation, which we are analysing in detail and will publish the response to the consultation in due course.
