	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2014 answer text <p>On 17 July, I announced that the Department for Education will allocate £390 million to the least fairly funded local areas in 2015-16. This is the biggest step towards fairer schools funding in a decade. It puts us in a much better position to implement a national funding formula when the time is right – after the next spending review, when there are multi-year public spending plans, and the Department can give greater certainty to schools about how the formula will affect them.</p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 20/10/2014 16:39:10 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws previous answer version 22718 answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws
