Written Question
Schools: Finance
Monday 6th November 2017

Asked by: Tom Pursglove (Conservative - Corby)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the implications of the new National Funding Formula for areas experiencing rapid housing growth.

Answered by Nick Gibb

In 2018-19, we will allocate this funding based on local authority growth spending in 2017-18. This represents an improvement on the current system, which fails to recognise growing areas.
