Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Eddie McGrady (Social Democratic & Labour Party), on Monday, 17 March 1997, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 12 members in total.


EDUCATION BUDGETS

That this House is totally opposed to cuts in funding in education in Northern Ireland based solely on the transfer of funds to the law and order budget, believing that such financial measures will disadvantage many children and detract from the quality of education provision, in that schools will be unable to fulfil their statutory and legal duties of delivering the curriculum; and calls on the Department of Education for Northern Ireland to ensure that the budgets for schools are uplifted in line with the increase of 4.4 per cent. budgeted for the 1997-98 financial year for schools in England and Wales.
