Today, Huw asked the Minister of State for Education a question on Public Funding of Education. You can view the question here: https://goo.gl/z7c3JW  and read the exchange below:

Huw Merriman:

Will the Minister work with colleagues across Whitehall to persuade councils to prioritise house building in parishes and towns where schools are facing falling rolls and a resultant shortage in funds?

Minister of State for Education:

My hon. Friend raises a very important point. We need more house building across the country to help young people get on to the housing ladder, and we are ensuring that as funding follows the pupil, as pupil numbers rise, so the funding to those schools rises.
