Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Karen Lumley (Conservative). It was answered by David Laws (Liberal Democrat) on Monday, 29 October 2012 on behalf of the Department for Education.


Worcestershire Schools

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will make it his policy to reform the funding formula for schools in Worcestershire.
Answer

In March the Secretary of State announced our intention to introduce a national funding formula during the next spending review period. In the meantime, we are simplifying the local funding system, and I hope I was able to reassure my hon. Friend during a Westminster Hall debate last week that we are committed to introducing a national funding formula and to doing so at a pace which is manageable for all schools.
