Education and Local Government

Proceeding contribution from Jack Dromey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 January 2020. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Education and Local Government.

The right hon. Gentleman talks about largesse on the part of Government. How does he therefore explain a situation

in Birmingham, where we have twice the average number of children on free school meals? Nine out of 10 constituencies are losing out, 99% of schools are set to lose out in this financial year, and 89% of schools will in the next financial year, with ever more serious consequences for the teaching of our children in the city. It may be that the leafy shires that he represents have been disproportionately and beneficially treated, but that is certainly not true of the great city of Birmingham.
