Education and Local Services

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

I simply want to set out that the hon. Lady’s party had exactly the same policy on funding to schools that would lose under the funding formula, which was to have no cash losers.

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

As I said, we are committed to introducing fair funding. It is right that we hold all schools to the same standards and the same accountability framework, and it makes sense that we should ensure that children with comparable needs are funded comparably...

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

I think all parents expect teachers and headteachers to behave professionally. There is space for an important political debate, but I question whether some teachers have pursued it in the right way, given the high status that I want the profession to ha...

We have been clear that we are getting in touch with schools that we know are being affected by such challenges. We did a huge amount of work in response to the Manchester atrocities, stretching far beyond Manchester into the broader north-west region, a...

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

I will make a bit of progress because many colleagues want to speak in this debate once I have sat down. The Government are committed to having the best lifelong learning for adults in the developed world. We will achieve that by setting up a national...

Part of the plan we set out in the manifesto was to establish what we called skills advisory panels. In other words, local employers within regions will look at what the needs are in their skills pipeline, consider them in relation to the 15 skills rout...

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

The hon. Gentleman will be delighted to know that he is entirely misinformed, because we do not have a cap on the number of international students. That will save him from having to ask that question again. We are determined to ensure that our universiti...

Education and Local Services

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

That is absolutely right. It is critical that we take advantage of two opportunities. The first is the kinds of businesses and industries in my hon. Friend’s area that are creating jobs and opportunities. The second is a generation of young people who wa...

I give way.

Education and Local Services

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

We are focused on raising social mobility and on levelling up opportunity for people who do not have it. That is why we have made investment in technical education a priority, as Her Majesty set out in the Queen’s Speech. For too long, there has not been...

Education and Local Services

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

I can set out for the hon. Lady exactly what we have been doing. We have been reforming our education system and standards have gone up; we have taken away a cap on the number of students going to university, which is why a higher percentage of disadvant...

Education and Local Services

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

I have made it clear that we are going to introduce proposals on fair funding. There is record funding in our schools, and we have set out a commitment to increase that further in our manifesto. We will introduce those proposals shortly. To conclude o...

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

I am going to make a little more progress, because I was pursuing an argument on access to higher education, which is hugely important in relation to how we drive social mobility. The Labour party has proposed a policy that will lead to more inequalit...

Education and Local Services

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

As my hon. Friend knows, we are absolutely committed to making sure that we have fair funding across our schools. We had an extensive consultation that received 25,000 responses, which we have gone through. We are pulling together what that means for the...

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

My right hon. Friend is right. Under the Labour Government, youth unemployment went up by just under 50%. It was not just young people from lower income backgrounds coming out of the education system often without basic skills. It was graduates who came...

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

I will give way to my right hon. Friend the Member for Forest of Dean (Mr Harper), and then to my hon. Friend the Member for The Cotswolds (Geoffrey Clifton-Brown).

Education and Local Services

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

My hon. Friend asks some important questions not just about equality of opportunity but about equality more generally and why we are prioritising technical education. The approach in England has benefited students from disadvantaged backgrounds, who now...

I should be delighted to give way to my hon. Friend.

I notice that the hon. Gentleman did not answer my question. [Interruption.] There will be plenty more time to dig into the Labour proposals for higher education and what they mean for the most disadvantaged children in the country.
