Chair's comment
Neil Carmichael, Chair of the Education Committee, said:
"It is widely acknowledged that the existing school funding model needs to change. I'm grateful for the Secretary of State's indication that the Government's consultation on school funding is likely to emerge in the New Year. As a Committee we take a keen interest in this matter and will want to examine the Government's proposals at an early date."
