Text

I thank the Minister for his remarks. He might direct his officials to communicate particularly with Manchester, which is innovative in looking at some of the new funding mechanisms. There may not be a direct equivalence, but will the Minister approach Manchester or consider best practice across the rest of the United Kingdom to see whether there are opportunities, particularly as he spoke earlier about the amount of money that we will have to spend to get the school estate fit for purpose.
