Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on 21st Century Schools.


21st Century Schools

It is obviously vital that local authorities respond to those shortages of places and respond to the views of parents. It is their job to ensure that they have the right number of school places. I brought forward schools capital from 2010-11 to 2009-10 so that there was more money for local authorities to spend. It was a great disappointment to me that a large number of Conservative authorities refused to take up that offer of more spending now, and that included Brighton.
