Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 May 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I am sure that the parents, teachers and pupils of Washington school will be glad that my hon. Friend has had the opportunity to raise the issue in the House today. We think that investment in schools is investment for the future. An investment in education for the next generation has sometimes been characterised as spending—there have been complaints that we have not mended the roof while the sun is shining—but investment in children's education is the best foundation for the future economy.
