The Chancellor made it clear at the spending review in the autumn that, in line with the Conservative Party’s manifesto commitment, this policy will be protected for the duration of the Parliament. It costs around £600 million a year in England, with proportionate funding going to the devolved administrations under the Barnett formula.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 24/02/2016 16:31:23 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
