Business question from Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 October 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have a debate on funding for new schools? ““I before E””, or ““infrastructure before expansion””, is vital in communities such as Milton Keynes. We recognise that we will need seven new schools in the next three years to keep pace with Government housing targets, so does the Leader of the House understand the anger felt in Milton Keynes this week at the news that the basic need allocation for the new schools has been slashed from £30 million to just £10 million? That means that four of those seven new schools will not be built. Whatever happened to ““Education, education, education””?
