Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nick Gibb and Ranil Jayawardena

Monday 6th February 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Gibb]

I suggest that the hon. Lady tells schools in Hull that, because of the way in which the new national funding formula addresses historical anachronisms and because of our focus on tackling deprivation, Hull’s school funding under the formula rises from £157 million to £161.7 million, which is an increase of some 3%. In her constituency of Kingston upon Hull North, funding rises by £1.4 million, with 83% of her schools seeing an increase in funding on the basis of 2016-17 figures.

[Mr Ranil Jayawardena (North East Hampshire) (Con)]

5. What assessment she has made of the effect of the proposed national funding formula on schools in Hampshire.
