#schoolcuts are not the answer!The debate comes after the chairs of two important committees, the public accounts committee and the education committee teamed up with Layla Moran, the Liberal Democrat education spokesperson and 52 other MPs to demand an “estimates day” debate on education spending plans.
MPs from across the house have raised concerns about education spending, which is increasingly becoming a campaign issue not just for opposition MPs, but also Conservatives who back the government.
