Proceeding contribution from Lord Gove (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on School Funding Reform.
School Funding Reform
That is a very distinguished point made by my hon. Friend the Member for East Hampshire (Damian Hinds). One of the problems with BSF is that £210 million was spent by local authorities on consultants, including IT consultants, and some of that money was invested in material that we would not describe as state of the art. It is critical to ensure that we get value for every penny we spend. Information technology is critical to effective learning in the 21st century, but so is ensuring that we get proper value for money.
