tabling member printed	Lord Watson of Invergowrie
uin	HL285
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2017 answer text <p>We believe that the current funding arrangements are unfair and we remain committed to changing them. We will work with Parliament to bring forward proposals that command a consensus. We are considering the more than 25,000 responses we received to the second stage to National Funding Formula consultation, and will publish our response in due course.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in the first stage to the consultation, a national funding formula – one which would directly set the budget for each school – would remove the requirement for local authorities to set a local schools funding formula. Removing the requirement for local authorities to set local formulae would require a change to the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 05/07/2017 15:59:40 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
