Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Gove and Julian Sturdy

Monday 17th October 2011 Commons Chamber

[Julian Sturdy (York Outer) (Con)]

T8. I am sure that the Education team will be delighted to hear that the highly acclaimed Manor Church of England school in my constituency has experienced a smooth transition to academy status. Now, however, it is moving into its second year as an academy, and it has raised concerns about the delayed allocation of its annual budget. Is the Secretary of State aware of these issues, and will he be addressing them before the next round of budget allocations?

[Michael Gove]

I am very aware of these issues, and that is one of the reasons we are consulting on replacing the system of funding that we inherited from the previous Government.
