Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. He almost referred to the fact that it is disappointing news. Given that addressing the extortionate costs of school uniforms was identified as a key priority when the Minister took up office and that, I understand, officials had previously worked on fairly detailed proposals, why has it taken so long to bring forward a consultation on the issue?
